Crock Pot Bratwurst and Peppers

"My brother-in-law shared this recipe with us. It is a very easy and delicious recipe. A nice variation from grilled brats, particularly during very cold weather when you don't want to get the grill out, or when you're too busy watching a Green Bay Packer game! This recipe is definitely a Midwest U.S. region favorite."

  1. This was very good. Different from the way I'm used to, but different is NOT a bad word. The 3 different peppers (red, yellow, green) made this more colorful than the traditional way, and added a unique, contempo/international fusion flavor to it. I really enjoy foods that blend 2 or more cultures together. The fact that is was slowly cooked in a crockpot also merged the flavours quite wonderfully! Thanks for a great idea and a great recipe PanNan!
     
  2. Thought this would be a great idea but felt the vegetables tasted a bit too harsh from all the beer.
     
  3. Wonderful flavor. I used Johnsonville beer brats and only 12 oz. beer as the veggies give off enough moisture. Will make this again but will cook on low for 6 hours vice high and low. I served with sauerkraut. Great meal.
     
  4. I probably used a beer that was too "hoppy." (I used Wild Goose Oatmeal Stout. The flavor soaked into the brats wonderfully, but it was too rich for the veggies--it completely overpowered the peppers). This is a nice, easy recipe, and I think it would be excellent with a pale ale or a bock...maybe even a cider.
     
  5. Great! Easy to make and very flavorful! An easy recipe to scale back for two people. Thanks for sharing!
