Bratwurst
This recipe requires slowly braising brats in a tangy beer sauce on a bed of onions, leaving them moist and delicious—perfect to stuff in a fluffy hoagie roll or plop onto a steaming pile of mashed potatoes.
Place 1 pound sliced onions into a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup soy sauce and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Heat until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Pour into your slow cooker, and place brats on top.
In another bowl, combine 3 cups beer, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard and 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds. Stir with a whisk, and pour onto the brats. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Serve with more Dijon mustard and sauerkraut, if desired.
