Simple Slow Cooker Beer Brats

This easy recipe for Simple Slow Cooker Beer Brats is one of the best bratwurst recipes to date. Simmered in onions and beer, these brats turn out extra juicy and tender. Cooking brats in beer gives them a nuanced, smokey flavor that pairs perfectly with sauerkraut and a soft sub roll. Although they are missing the nice char that a grill gives bratwurst, it is a small price to pay for the ease of using a slow cooker. Simply lay these sausages down in the slow cooker and let them marinate in a delicious mixture of soy sauce, dijon mustard, brown sugar, and beer. Leave them be for a few hours and they'll be ready by dinnertime.
