I have been making this for a few years and have received rave reviews every time! I saw it on the show and went out that day to get the ingredients as I was hosting a Wedding Shower the next day. The dish went over so well that several of the guests asked to take some home to their husbands. LOVE IT!!! A perfect blend of flavors and it's so easy to make!

Do not do this to bratwurst. There is no need for EVOO in this recipe. Grill or pan sear brats (hence the nonstick pan then soak them in a pot of beer and onions. Top with warm kraut on a crusty brat bun.
