Ingredients

Instructions
- First, add butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add in diced onions.
- Cook onions for 5 minutes or until softened. Season with sea salt. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add the Bratwurst to the skillet. Pour over broth or beer.
- Bring mixture to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes. Flip Brats every 5 minutes or so.
- To get the sear, remove everything from the skillet. Turn up heat to medium high. Add in only Brats. Sear on each side for 1 minute.

Notes
- Any type of Bratwurst works for this recipe.
- Continue stirring onions to prevent burning.
- Use broth or beer. It can be tough to find gluten free beer, so I usually use chicken broth or beef broth.
- As the mixture simmers, it may need slightly more broth.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
