How to Make Beer Braised Bratwurst With Sauerkraut
- In a large saucepan, combine bratwurst, beer, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook for 10 minutes, or until bratwurst is heated through.
- Remove bratwurst from saucepan and set aside. Reserve the cooking liquid.
- In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, or until crispy. Transfer bacon to a plate, reserving bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour reserved bratwurst liquid into the skillet with the onions. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until the liquid is reduced by about half, approximately 8 minutes.
- Add drained sauerkraut and sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Add the cooked bratwurst and crispy bacon to the skillet. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
- Stir in diced apples. Serve immediately and enjoy!
