Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 fresh Bratwurst links
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion ((sliced))
  • 1 garlic ((minced) - optional )
  • 2 cups sauerkraut ((drained, full packed))

  • ¼ tsp ground paprika ((optional))
  • 2 small Honeycrisp apples ((unpeeled and diced))
  • 1¼ cups pale ale beer
  • salt ((to taste))
  • black pepper ((to taste))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a braiser, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the bratwurst for about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the bratwurst to a plate.
  • Add sliced onions, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Add garlic and paprika then stir for about 1 minute. Add dijon mustard, sauerkraut, beer, sausages, and apples. Cook for 2 minutes then turn off the heat. Adjust the seasoning with salt if needed.
  • Cover the pot with a lid (or use foil if you are using a regular casserole dish). Braise for 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F using a meat thermometer.Check the mixture about halfway through, if it's too dry you can add about ¼ cup of beer if necessary.
  • Remove the pot from the oven. Stir the sauerkraut mixture before serving.
