Add your onions on top as it simmers. Simmer your brats for about 15 to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be sure to keep them at a low simmer as boiling them at too high a heat will cause a brat disaster, with the casings and skin splitting and all the tasty juices leaking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Classic](\"https:\/\/bratsandbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Classic-Brats-Recipe.jpg\" "\\"Classic")
