Ingredients

  • 1 cup chili sauce (such as Heinz brand)
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ½ cup beer
  • 2 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a small sauce pan and simmer for 10 minutes, or until sauce has thickened back into ketchup like consistency. Let cool slightly.
  • Yields 2 cups.
  • Serve on top of grilled bratwurst.

Notes

Note: I like cooking with Amber ales because they have a robust flavor that isn't overly bitter, though a traditional light beer will work well in this recipe too.
