Slow Cooker Beer and Garlic Brats

Hi again! It’s definitely fall here in Oregon! Crisp mornings but warm afternoons, my favorite time of year. This recipe for Slow Cooker Beer and Garlic Brats is one of those recipe that smell SO good while it cooks. I kept putting my nose up to the edge of the slow cooker all day. I have another brat recipe on my blog, it doesn’t have near as much garlic and doesn’t have butter in it either. I’ve been often redoing recipes after I try them again, there is always room for improvement I think.

I also decided to try the raw version of the brats. As I was on Johsnonville’s website today, I saw they make brat patties! What the what!?

Yes I used 10 garlic cloves for this recipe. It may seem like a lot, but keeping them whole helps not overpower the recipe. Garlic goes SO well with beer and butter.

  4. Hi there! Gonna make these today – super excited! How would you store them after cooking? Would you keep some of the juice and put them in a tupperware? No juice? Would freezing them get weird?
