Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 beer brat sausages uncooked
4 medium-sized potatoes washed (not peeled) and cut into approximately 1 inch cubes
1 medium onion sliced
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 red bell pepper sliced
1 (14 oz) can beef broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Water if necessary

Instructions

Prepare 12 coals for cooking. (see * Note)
Place the coals in a pattern that will evenly heat a 12-inch Dutch oven from below. (You are using all of the coals under the oven, no coals will be placed on the lid. Place them in a full circular pattern including the center, not just a ring around the outside.)
In your 12-inch cast iron Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.
Add the sausages to the pot, turning them to assure all sides are evenly browned, about 5-10 minutes. You are just browning the sausages here, not cooking them.
Once they are browned, remove the sausages and set them aside.
Add the potatoes, onions, garlic, bell peppers to the Dutch oven and stir gently.
Now, pour the beef broth into the Dutch oven and add the sausages back to the pot placing them on top of the veggies.
Bring it up to simmer while still on medium-high heat.
Now, reduce the heat to low, cover the Dutch oven with the lid and let the pot simmer for 30 - 45 minutes until the brats are cooked through and the potatoes are tender. Check the liquid level on occasion and add water if necessary. (see ** Note)
Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and add salt and pepper, to taste.

Notes

*Note: You can use charcoal briquettes, campfire coals or a propane camp stove to heat your Dutch oven from below. You are just creating a medium heat and will reduce to lower heat to finish the dish.

**Note: If you are cooking in windy conditions you may need to increase the heat to medium or even high in order to keep the pot simmering.
