How to Make Crescent Wrapped Brats And Sauerkraut

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using uncooked brats, pre-cook them: In a deep pan, slowly simmer 1 lb bratwurst in a mixture of 1 cup beer and 1 cup water until cooked through (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. While brats cook (or if using pre-cooked brats), sauté 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, in 1 tablespoon butter until softened and lightly caramelized.
  4. In a bowl, combine 1 cup sauerkraut, 1/4 cup honey mustard.
  5. Unroll 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough. Place 1 bratwurst in the center of each crescent triangle.
  6. Top each brat with a spoonful of the sauerkraut and honey mustard mixture.
  7. Wrap the crescent roll dough around the bratwurst, sealing the edges to create a neat package.
  8. Place the wrapped brats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent roll is golden brown and the brats are heated through.
  10. Meanwhile, prepare the beer cheese sauce (Recipe #162043, substituting sharp cheddar and amber/dark beer).
  11. Serve the crescent-wrapped brats immediately, topped with the sauteed onions and beer cheese sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy with a side salad and a cold beer!
