Fathers Day Brats, onions and apples


 Its Fathers Day and I want to make a meal to please my man.  That would be my husband.  However my Dad is someone I also want to please........but he has a heart condition.........so I'll make him a special low fat meal too.  But here's the recipe I made to please my man. I learned this recipe from my neighbor Joe Bosco a few years ago.  He uses beer, but I use apple juice instead.  This recipe only has three ingredients - sausage, onions and apple juice (or beer).  So simple but so delicious.  It was like eating candy. 


Start with some good old sausages.
 Cut up two onions in slices, and throw them together in a big cast iron pot.


Or you can pre cook your sausages to give the outsides a nice brown color either on your grill


Or just in a frying pan.

Now add the apple juice or beer........whichever you prefer.  I used about 4 cups of apple juice.


Make sure the sausage and onions are completely covered in liquid and bring to a boil, then turn down and simmer without a lid, for 1 hour or more until the liquid is almost gone. 
Stir every now and then when the liquid is starting to disappear.


 The onions should look like this.

Serve as is, or in a bun. 

Happy Fathers day!
