Wisconsin Brats - Winterized

What a treat in January - or any month for that matter.  Brats made on the stove that taste like they were cooked on a grill.

Pack of 5 brats
1 Tablespoon cooking oil
1 Large onion thickly sliced
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Bottle of beer (12 ounces)
4 Tablespoons whole grain mustard
1/2 teaspoon caraway seed

1. Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in 10" fry pan.
2. Brown brats on all sides - about 5-10 minutes. Remove from pan to rest awhile.
3. Add to pan, 1 onion thickly sliced; 1 teaspoon of brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt.  Saute until onions are nicely browned - about 10 minutes.
4. Add 1 bottle of beer; 4 Tablespoons of whole grain mustard; and 1/2 teaspoon caraway seed to onions in pan.  Heat until simmering.
5. Add the browned brats and allow to simmer uncovered for about 12-15 minutes.  Turn a few times to make sure the brats are fully cooked.
