Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces bratwursts
- 1 large yellow onion
- 12 ounces beer
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 6 pieces hot dog buns or pretzel rolls
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sliced onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
Transfer the sautéed onions to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, brown the bratwursts on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side. This step is optional but adds great flavor.
Place the browned bratwursts on top of the onions in the crock pot.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the beer, honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the beer sauce over the bratwursts and onions in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.
Once cooked, carefully remove the bratwursts from the crock pot and place them in buns or pretzel rolls.
Spoon some of the onions and sauce from the crock pot over each bratwurst for added flavor.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
