Preparation

Step 1

Place sauerkraut in bottom of crockpot with onion and green pepper on top. Whisk together beer, mustard, apple juice, caraway seeds, thyme and brown sugar. Pour over the sauerkraut, green pepper and onion. Add bay leaf to pot. Place brats on top and cook on high 4 hours or low 6 hours until peppers, onions and brats are well done. Remove bay leaf.

grill and just do the sauerkraut in the crockpot.
