Johnsonville Brat Crock 

What You’ll Need:

1 large slow cooker

3-4 cans (12 oz. each) beer (depending on the size of your slow cooker)

2 tablespoons butter

1 medium yellow or white onion, sliced into rings

Johnsonville Original Brats (19 oz. tray)

What to Do:

Pour in the beer; add butter and onions into slow cooker and turn on to high.

Heat a grill pan or heavy skillet to medium high and grill or sear the brats on all sides.

Place your Johnsonville Brats into the slow cooker and heat until the brats are cooked through, about 2 hours. Brats are fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 160˚F.

Reduce heat to low to keep the brats in the slow cooker hot throughout the game.
