Caramelized onion beer brats cooked in a slow cooker are delicious with many different sides. You might want to round them up with some tangy German potato salad or creamy coleslaw. Warm potato and green bean salad or buttery mashed potatoes are great options for a heartier side dish. For a perfect vehicle for the beer-infused bratwurst taste, don’t leave out the crusty rolls or pretzel buns. Sauerkraut or pickles, together with a sour mustard, would provide the ideal acidic counterpoint to these fatty brats.

Beer Brats with Caramelized Onions and Slow Cooker 6 Servings
Six bratwurst sausages, three thinly sliced big yellow onions, two tablespoons unsalted butter, one teaspoon brown sugar, one teaspoon salt, one teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and four minced cloves of garlic are the ingredients.
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce – 12 ounces of beer (ideally a rich ale or a German-style lager)
To enhance the flavor, you can optionally add 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds.
For Ingredients
To be served: Hoagie rolls or sturdy brat buns
How to Follow
1. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, thinly sliced onions, salt, and pepper. It should take around fifteen to twenty minutes for the onions to soften and begin to caramelize, stirring occasionally while cooking. Before the onions are done frying, toss in the minced garlic and heat, stirring sometimes, until it releases its aroma.
2. Place the slow cooker with the caramelized garlic and onions.
3. Over medium-high heat, brown the bratwurst sausages in the same pan, about 3 minutes on each side, to add color and taste.
4. Top the onions in the slow cooker with the browned bratwursts.
5. Pour the Worcestershire sauce and beer into the slow cooker with the other ingredients. Toss in the caraway seeds if you’re using them.
Put the brats in the slow cooker and cover it. Cook for 6 to 8 hours, or until the onions are tender and golden. To get the most flavor out of your ingredients, cook them slowly and low.
7. Top the buns with the brats and caramelized onions and serve with your preferred side dishes.
