Grilled Brats with Sweet Pepper Topping
One of our favorite summer meals is grilled brats! They are so easy and delicious. Perfect for BBQs, the Fourth of July, Father’s Day, and any day!
Grilling during the summer is my favorite! I love being outside, the minimal clean-up and of course–the delicious food. I didn’t grow up eating brats, but my husband got the Trader Joe’s brats a few years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. The flavor is delish, the casing is thin and there are no weird chewy pieces in the meat. You can really have fun with the toppings too! We like to top ours with sweet peppers and mustard, sometimes sauerkraut too. Let’s make them!
How to grill brats
This is going to be the Ron Swanson of blog posts. Not only because it’s meat-focused, but because I just can’t bring myself to say much more than:
Place brats on the grill. Cook until golden brown. Serve with bell peppers and mustard if you want. I don’t care. Just kidding I do care, but I’m just being Ron Swanson.

PrintGrilled Brats with Sweet Pepper Topping
Brats are the perfect no-nonsense grilling meal. They cook up quick, require no prep, and are so so good. The sweet pepper topping is a must in our house and is equally as easy and foolproof.
Ingredients
- 4 brats
- 2 bell peppers, sliced thin
- 4 brioche hot dog buns
additional toppings
- mustard
- sauerkraut
Instructions
- Heat grill to medium-low.
- Place sliced bell peppers in foil and wrap tightly so the peppers can steam. Place on the grill about 10-15 minutes before you start cooking the brats. These will take longer.
- Place brats on the grill and cook, turning to cook on all sides for about 5 minutes. Then turn the heat up to high to sear.
- Cook until brats are thoroughly golden brown and beginning to burst.
- Remove from grill and place on a serving plate.
- Turn heat to low, or off and lightly toast buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes if desired.
- Serve brats with sweet peppers, mustard and sauerkraut.
