Root Beer Brats are cooked all day in a root beer marinade that sweetens the brats just enough for a tasty flavor that complements the plump and juicy bratwursts.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 red onion sliced into thick rings
  • 2 bottles root beer 32 ounces
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
  • teaspoon garlic powder
  • teaspoon kosher salt
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon hot sauce
  • 12 bratwurst
  • 12 hot dog buns buns for bratwurst
  • ketchup for topping
  • mustard for topping

Instructions

  1. In a medium skillet, sauté the onions in butter until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove onions from pan and place into the crockpot.
  2. In the same pan you softened the onions in, brown brats over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side (brats will not be fully cooked). I used my indoor grilling pan to get pretty grill marks, but that is not necessary.
  3. To the slow cooker, add the cooked brats, root beer, cornstarch, mustard, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Stir to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
  5. Serve brats on a bun and top with red onion, ketchup, and mustard.
