Brats in Beer (Slow Cooker)
Adapted from a recipe card in ''Cooking With Beer''.
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.

- 750 grams Bratwurst, about 5-6 links, (1 1/2 lbs)
- 1 bottle beer, light-tasting preferred, your choice, (12 oz / 330 ml)
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, or cider vinegar
- spicy mustard, for serving
- rye cocktail bread, for serving
To your slow cooker, add the beer, sugar, and vinegar, stir to mix, then add the brats and onion. Cover and set to Low setting and cook for 4-5 hours.
Remove the brats and onion from the slow cooker. Slice the brats into 1/2 inch thick slices and separate the onion rings.
To make mini open faced sandwiches, spread some mustard on slices of cocktail bread, top with bratwurst slices and top that with onion.
Serve and enjoy.
