Sauerkraut and Brats with Beer

By Bryce Eddings, About.com

Reader Patsy Walton shared this great recipe for sauerkraut and brats with beer. My beer suggestion would be a dark German lager - bock, doppelbock, dunkel or, for a real twist, a rauchbier. Serve it with the same beer that you used in the recipe and some baked beans. Guten Appetit!

Ingredients:

  • 1 large jar of Sauerkraut - drained
  • 1 large sweet onion - chopped
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 4 bratwursts, sliced thick
  • 1 dark beer

Preparation:

In large skillet, cook bacon til crispy. Remove, drain, and crumble. Add chopped onion to bacon grease, and saute on low/medium heat until soft. Add drained sauerkraut. Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top, then stir in with brown sugar, and beer. Cover and simmer about 10 minutes. Add sliced sausage on top. Cover and simmer on low about 20 minutes until the brats are cooked. Serve and enjoy!
