cum grano salis — nobody likes a clever bastard

1 package bratwurst (about 8) (DO NOT USE VEAL BRATS OR KNACKWURST)
1 package brat buns
1 large jar Frank’s saurkraut
4 bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, purple, NOT green)
1 six pack of Beck’s or other cheapo German beer
some butter

1a. Fry brats until brown on both sides in a little butter in a deep skillet.
1b. Have a beer.
2. Drown brats with a bottle of beer and bring to a boil uncovered. Prick the brats all over the place with a fork while this is happening.
3a. While brats are trying to be boiled, clean out and slice up the peppers into narrow strips (I use red, purple, yellow, orange, but not green since they’re not very sweet and the colored ones are quite festive!)
3b. Have a beer.
4. When brats come to a boil, add peppers and saurkraut. Try to submerge the brats, kraut, and peppers in the beer.
5a. Return to a boil, simmer covered until peppers are soft and fall apart when forked. (Takes about 15-30 mins.)
5b. Have a beer.
6. Serve on a bun with kraut and peppers. Eat with last two bottles of beer.
