One even said to cook the beer brats on the stove with beer and then cook in the oven, but that\u2019s more work than seemed necessary. <\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre; white-space:pre-wrap;\">So, I just made something up, and readers, I have to say, I executed it perfectly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre; white-space:pre-wrap;\">Perhaps it was just the beer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height:1.38; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre; white-space:pre-wrap;\">The extra nice thing about this is how easy it is to scale up or down. And fit any needs. I overdid it on the peppers and onions, but they made a tasty treat in scrambled eggs.
