I take the Johnsonville Theory to a new level.
I caramelize a bunch of onions in plenty of butter (I used 1/2 butter, 1/2 olive oil) until they are brown and lovely, then add in beer and par boil my brats. Then sear and serve on a roll with the aforementioned onions.
Later you pack up your leftovers (note:make sure to make enough for leftovers) placing that onion bath in a nice tall narrow container- like a delicious salad container or one of those ziplock twist containers.
Then in the morning you open the fridge and look inside and see this little hardened puck of fat atop your onions.
And that my friends is gold. Brat and onion flavored butter and that shit makes for some mighty fine omelette a or scrambled eggs. And if you were smart enough to set aside a half to a full brat, dice that sucker and add it to your eggs along with a nice spoon of those onions from yesterday and then just ascend directly to heaven.
That caramelize onion butter is delicious. I’ve been known to use extra butter when caramelize gets onions just so I can drain a bit off and chill it so I can use it another time to finish off a steak or some chicken.
If I ever learn Ive contracted something deadly and I’m dying, I’m putting that shit on everything. I’ll probably put it on a stick and eat it like a popsicle.
