So easy and so good! The peppercorns were my favorite. Used Budweiser beer we already had on hand from the Neely’s chili recipe and it was perfect. May do as other cook said and brown the brats a touch before adding onion. We will absolutely make this again!

Family loved it. I put the brats in crockpot on low for a couple hours.
Jared Johnson
Really yummy. However the brats didn’t cook all the way through cause they weren’t completely defrosted so I had to grill them but other than that hiccup really good.
Michael Nelson
These are really good and fast to make. I browned my brats first then added the onions, peppercorns, and I also added some chopped garlic and followed the recipe then. Came out wonderful. Will make again.

This was easy and very good! Monday nights I cook for the week. I fixed this last night and put in the fridge. My family will eat off this dish for the next couple nights. My package had 5 brats so I used 1 1/2 sweet onion and I added 2 bay leaves. I also added 3 cloves of fresh garlic chopped. I used a little flour to make the sauce thick.. AWESOME! I fixed potato salad to have with it! Great summer food and makes for an easy week, just come home heat and eat.
