By á-5100

Ingredients

• One 12-ounce bottle beer
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 8 cooked bratwurst sausage
• 5 slices bacon, chopped
• 2 onions, sliced
• 1 pound sauerkraut, drained
• 2 carrots, shredded
• 2 granny smith apples, cut into matchsticks

Preparation

Step 1

In a saucepan, simmer the beer, chicken broth and bratwurst for 10 minutes. Reserve the bratwurst and cooking liquid separately.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat for 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Add the onions to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until softened. Add the reserved cooking liquid, bring to a boil and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Add the sauerkraut, carrots, bacon and bratwurst and cook, covered, until heated through. Stir in the apples.
