Slow Cooker Brats in Beer
Slow Cooker Brats in Beer
Sounds like a good basic brat recipe, on my to cook list, and I will be using homemade bratwurst as well. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 750 grams Bratwurst, OR make from a shortcut, (1 1/2 lbs)
- 1 can beer, or bottle, your choice
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Instructions
- To the slow cooker, add the beer, brown sugar, vinegar. Stir together.
- Heat a non stick skillet on medium heat, when hot, add the bratwurst. Brown the brats until lightly browned.
- Place the brats in the slow cooker, and prick eat sausage 2-3 times with a toothpick to prevent them from bursting.
- Top with the sliced onions.
- Cover and cook on Low setting for 4 hours.
- Serving options could be with sauerkraut on the side along with spicy mustard, another option could be in a bun. Enjoy.
Notes
Low cost per serving as I used my homemade bratwurst. Store bought is about is 270 grams at 129 Baht, gets pricey when you consider 750 grams needed for the recipe.
Shortcut: Bratwurst.
Adapted from an internet recipe.
I made this on 22 Nov 2018 as written. Used my homemade bratwurst, 8 links for a weight of about 800 grams, just over 1 1/2 lbs. As written, I gave this 4 stars, the flavor is good, however I do not think the family will like these due to the brown sugar and red wine vinegar. Next time I prepare these I will just use beer, onion, and some sliced bell pepper.
