Slow Cooker Beer and Garlic Brats are great for game day or for a fall dinner.
Hi again!
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.
Such an easy peasy recipe! Serve with chips and dinner is served. Have a great week.

Used dried garlic and fresh onion, PLUS the 10 year old bottle of Alaska Brewing Smoked Porter for 6 hours on low in my old crockpot.
AMAZING!!!!!!
My very not picky house hates it. It tasted like ground dirt. And we used beer everyone drinks I would not recommend
Csn you cook it on high for shorter time?
Yes, that will work great.
High for?? Or just watch and check temp?TIA
I would do 3.5 hours on high. Then check for doneness.
If you pre-cut to make bite-size pieces do you adjust the cooking time?
You can probably get away with 5 hours if the onions look done. The onions actually take the longest to cook.
Amazing. I add make sure the beer covers the brats. And I use extra butter and garlic.
Melts in your mouth!
