What can be better than having friends over for an outdoor dinner? I love the company and serving people delicious dinner is always a must.

Johnsonville Beer Bratwurst on top of caramelized onions in a ceramic baking pan

The other day we unexpectedly invited our friends over. I knew I had no time to prepare dinner and had no desire to cook in my already hot kitchen. We ended up grilling beer brats outside, both kids and adults loved them. I loved the idea of pre-grilling brats to have that nice color and letting them bake while soaking in onion flavors. This meant that the food was getting ready, while giving me enough time to put myself together.
