These brats are not only cheaper than purchasing blah ready-made food, take-out, or pizza delivery, they are better. Bold & Spicy Game-Time Brats will be a winner every time they’re served; it’s too bad that isn’t the case with your favorite team.
12 Servings
3 pounds uncooked bratwurst sausages, or other favorite uncooked variety such as New York, Italian (hot or mild), etc.
1 16 oz. can beer
2 cups catsup
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup brown sugar (use 3/4 cup if you prefer less sweet)
1 to 4 tablespoons chipotle chili in adobo sauce, chopped (depending on how spicy the sausage is and how spicy your preferences are)
12 crusty French rolls
- Brown the sausages on all sides; transfer to a 4-5 quart slow cooker.
- Pour the beer over the sausages.
- Mix the brown sugar and dry mustard; add to the sausages along with the Worcestershire and catsup.
- Mix well, tilt the lid slightly (so the sauce will thicken), and turn the slow cooker to high.
- Let cook 4-8 hours until the sauce has thickened; if it is convenient, stir once or twice during cooking.
