🍺 Ingredients You’ll Need

• Bratwurst sausages (uncooked) – use your favorite brand or local butcher

• Beer – lager or ale works best (nothing too bitter)

• Yellow onions – sliced thick for maximum sweetness

• Bell peppers – red, green, yellow, or a mix for color and flavor

• Butter or oil – to sauté the veggies beforehand (optional but worth it)

• Garlic, salt, pepper – simple seasoning that lets the brats shine

• Optional: Sauerkraut, mustard, hoagie rolls for serving

🧑‍🍳 How to Make It

1. Optional prep step: Brown the brats in a skillet for extra flavor and color.

2. Layer sliced onions and peppers in the bottom of your slow cooker.

3. Place brats on top of the veggies.

4. Pour beer over everything — just enough to cover the sausages halfway.

5. Add garlic and seasonings.

6. Cook on low for 6–7 hours, or high for 3–4 hours, until the brats are tender and fully cooked through.
