Crock Pot Bratwurst And Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Place bratwurst, beer, onion, and ketchup in a slow cooker. Pour water over mixture until everything is covered. Set slow cooker to HIGH and cook for 4 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• Grill bratwurst on preheated grill until they are browned, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Lightly brown bratwursts in butter.
• Layer one half of the bell peppers, onion and apple in the bottom of the crock pot.
• Place 3 bratwursts on top.
• Repeat with remaining veggies and bratwurst.
• Pour beer over all.
• Cook on high for 1- 2 hours.
• Turn to low and cook at least 4 more hours.
• Serve brat and pepper mixture on rolls with mustard or favorite condiment.
• Excellent with sauerkraut and German potato salad.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot, followed by onion.
• Place whole (not cut up!) bratwurst over top of the onion and potatoes.
• Spoon sauerkraut over bratwurst, and then pour water over the sauerkraut.
• Sprinkle with black pepper and parsley.
• Cover with crock pot lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
• Serve with sour cream and/or mustard.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausages, turning to brown all sides, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Place browned sausage in slow cooker. Add the peppers, onions, garlic, and Ragu® Old World Style® Traditional Pasta Sauce to the slow cooker; stir. Turn to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours.
• Serve over slices of hearty fresh bread; garnish with fresh basil.

Steps:

• Place the first 8 ingredients in a 5-qt. slow cooker; stir to combine. In a large skillet, brown bratwurst on all sides over medium-high heat; transfer to slow cooker., Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until sausages are cooked through and vegetables are tender. Using tongs, serve bratwurst and pepper mixture on buns.

Steps:

• Chop -- Simply cut the brats in 3 pieces each on a angle. Carrots, peel, again chop on a angle (I just like how it looks) in about 2" pieces. Onion, I use 2 large onions, rough chopped. Potatoes, small ones I leave whole, if they are large I will cut in half. Not too small or they get mushy.
• Crockpot -- Brats on the bottom with the carrots, then onions and topped with potatoes. Top all that with the sauerkraut.
• Sauce -- In a small bowl or measuring cup, add the butter and melt in the microwave for 10 seconds, remove and then add in the beer, mustard, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon black pepper and garlic. Pour over the brats and vegetables. Lay 3 springs of thyme right on top of the sauerkraut.
• Cook -- Crockpot - low 6-8 hours. My crock pot takes 7 hours, but every crockpot is different. You just want the potatoes and carrots to be tender. The brats will easily be done. Right at the end of cooking, check for seasoning. No salt was added, but the sauerkraut even though it was rinsed can be salty, so go easy. Besides you are serving a sauce with this dish which also has seasoning.
• Sauce -- This is a great compliment to this dish. You can always just serve it with some mustard, but I love this sauce served on each persons plate in a small side bowl for dipping or for pouring over the vegetables. It is similar to the consistency of gravy.
• Remove the cooking liquid to let it cool slightly before you add it to the sour cream so it does not break the sour cream. It will cool in just a few minutes. In a small bowl add the sour cream, horseradish, mustard, salt and pepper. It is a nice creamy spicy sauce to serve with the brats and vegetables. My Mom always adds more mustard to her portion, so just go by taste. I happen to love my horseradish sauce, so -- each person is unique in their own taste.

Steps:

• Place onion rings into bottom of the crock pot and add apple rings.
• Heat oil in a large skillet and add brats and garlic. Brown on all sides, poke a couple holes, and transfer to the crock pot.
• Pour the apple juice or beer over all, cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
