Ingredients:
1-1/2
pounds bratwurst (about 5 or 6 links)

1
bottle (12 ounces) amber ale

1
medium onion, thinly sliced

2
tablespoons packed brown sugar

2
tablespoons red wine or cider vinegar

Spicy brown mustard

Cocktail rye bread



Preparation:
1.
Combine bratwurst, ale, onion, brown sugar and vinegar in slow cooker. Cover; cook on LOW 4 to 5 hours.

2.
Remove bratwurst and onion slices from juices in slow cooker. Cut bratwurst into 1/2-inch-thick slices. For mini open-faced sandwiches, spread mustard on cocktail rye bread. Top with bratwurst slices and cooked onion, if desired.


Tip: Choose a light-tasting beer for cooking brats. Hearty ales might leave the meat tasting slightly bitter.
