Step 1
Cook the bacon in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes or until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and let drain on paper towels. Pour off the drippings.
Step 2
Add the bratwurst to the skillet and cook until well browned, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Stir the beer, soup, brown sugar, sauerkraut and bacon in the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes or until the bratwurst is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Easy German-Inspired Feast
I wanted an easy German-inspired meal to make for Reformation and this was perfect! I don’t like really sweet dishes so I took out the brown sugar entirely. I also used pre-cooked bacon for a quicker addition. It was a very flavorful and easy concoction. I added some spicy mustard on the side and enjoyed. My sister loved the recipe and even loved the sauerkraut - which she is usually never a fan of. This recipe was a win!
Love the recipe
I have made this recipe many times and each time it is delicious. My neighbors loved it and now they are making it. And it's easy too!
Great way to eat sauerkraut
Despite the many higher-sodium ingredients in this recipe (brats, sauerkraut, bacon, onion soup), this recipe turned out with a sweet taste. We served it over mashed potatoes and it turned out great.
