How to Make Honey Mustard Beer Brats Crock Pot

Place 1 pound of bratwurst in the bottom of a 5-quart slow cooker.
Arrange 1/2 cup sliced green bell pepper, 1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper, and 1/2 cup sliced onion over the bratwurst.
Layer the remaining 1 pound of bratwurst on top, and cover with the remaining sliced bell peppers and onion.
Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and 2 bay leaves.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey mustard sauce, 1 tablespoon liquid smoke, and 1 cup beer.
Pour the honey mustard beer mixture into the slow cooker.
Add more beer if necessary to almost cover the bratwurst and vegetables.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until bratwurst is heated through.
Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Remove the bratwurst from the slow cooker, leaving the onions and peppers inside.
Place bratwurst on the preheated grill and baste with the remaining honey mustard sauce.
Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until slightly charred and heated through.
Place grilled bratwurst on rolls. Using tongs, remove some of the cooked onions and peppers from the slow cooker and place them on top of the sausage.
