🔥Instructions

1. Make the Scorpion Mustard:
   In a bowl, soak yellow and brown mustard seeds in apple cider vinegar and water for 24–48 hours.
   Blend the soaked seeds with Hot Honey, turmeric, and Scorpion Rub until smooth.
   Transfer to a jar and refrigerate for at least 48 hours to let the flavors develop.
   
2. Cook the Brats:
    In a cast iron skillet, melt butter and sear the brats on all sides until browned. Remove from the pan.
   
3. Sauté the Onions:
   In the same pan, add sliced onions and season with Beef Rub. Cook until caramelized.
   
4. Simmer in Beer:
    Return brats to the pan, pour in enough beer to float them, and simmer gently until the sausages are fully cooked and juicy.
   
5. Assemble & Serve:
   Place brats on toasted buns, top with caramelized onions, and drizzle generously with Scorpion Spicy Mustard. Serve hot and enjoy!
