mmed sheet pan. Lay the bratwursts on top.
4. Add the Beer
Pour enough beer into the dish to come about halfway up the brats (you want them to simmer, not drown). Cover the dish tightly with foil.
5. Bake and Finish
Bake for 25–30 minutes covered. Then, remove the foil and return to the oven for another 10–15 minutes to let the brats brown and the beer reduce into a flavorful glaze.
6. Serve Hot
Serve brats in buns with the onions piled on top. Add sauerkraut, mustard, or cheese if you like. Or keep it simple—they’re perfect as-is.
