Quick Caramelized Onions
- I just sauté onions with butter in a skillet over medium high heat until translucent and starting to brown around edges. We love these onions on these brats with mustard.
Notes
- Always soak your wood chips for at least 30 minutes to ensure they smoke instead of just burning up.
- Once your brats are in the smoker, keep the lid closed until it's time to check them. Keep all that smoke where it belongs!
