BEER GLAZED BRATS AND SAUERKRAUT



Beer Glazed Brats and Sauerkraut image

I came up with this recipe, because simply simmering sausages in beer and onions tasted weak. I was looking for a more intense beer flavor with a little bite, and this is it. A very satisfying dish if you crave German flavor that's Americanized. We love this dish served on potato rolls with spicy hot German mustard, Swiss cheese, and ice cold beer on the side.

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

⅛ teaspoon celery seeds
⅛ teaspoon caraway seeds
1 pound fresh bratwurst sausages
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lager beer
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon dried dill weed
1 pound sauerkraut (preferably barrel-aged), drained

Steps:

  • Crush celery seeds and caraway seeds in a mortar and pestle until ground; set aside.
  • Place bratwursts into a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Mix beer, brown sugar, dry mustard, onion powder, black pepper, dill weed, and crushed celery and caraway seeds in a bowl, stirring to dissolve brown sugar; pour over the brats. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Uncover and raise heat to medium; boil the sauce until it reduces to a thick, syrupy liquid, about 20 minutes. Tilt skillet to roll brats in the sticky sauce until thoroughly coated. Transfer sausage to a platter and keep warm. Cook and stir sauerkraut in the same skillet to mix in any leftover sauce, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer sauerkraut to a serving platter and top with cooked bratwurst.

Tips:

  • Use a slow cooker with a capacity of at least 3 quarts for this recipe.
  • Choose high-quality bratwurst for the best results. Look for brats that are made with fresh, local ingredients and have a good ratio of meat to fat.
  • If you don't have beer on hand, you can substitute beef broth or chicken broth. However, beer adds a delicious depth of flavor to the dish, so it's worth using it if you can.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar and Dijon mustard to your taste. If you like a sweeter glaze, add more brown sugar. If you prefer a tangier glaze, add more Dijon mustard.
  • Serve the beer-glazed brats and beans with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or a side salad.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker beer-glazed brats and beans recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy a classic German dish. The brats are cooked in a flavorful beer glaze, and the beans are tender and savory. This dish is perfect for a casual get-together or a special occasion. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
