Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bratwurst sausages
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 12 ounces beer (lager or ale)
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Brown the bratwurst sausages on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Peel and slice the yellow onion into thin rings. Mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion rings until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Transfer the browned bratwurst and sautéed onions and garlic into the crock pot.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the beer, ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the sauce mixture over the bratwurst and onions in the crock pot, ensuring the sausages are evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours, until the bratwurst sausages are fully cooked and the flavors have melded together.
Stir gently before serving to ensure the sauce is evenly distributed.
Serve the bratwurst and sauce hot on a plate, or use as a filling for sandwiches or over a bed of mashed potatoes or rice.
