Root Beer Brats

Here's an easy recipe that's versatile, too. Serve the saucy brats over rice for one meal and have them on buns the next. For extra punch, add a splash of root beer concentrate to the sauce.

Ingredients

1 can (12 ounces) root beer
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 teaspoons ground mustard
3 teaspoons caraway seeds
10 uncooked bratwurst links
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 bottle (12 ounces) chili sauce
10 hoagie buns, toasted
optional: thinly sliced red onion and prepared mustard

Directions

Whisk first 4 ingredients until blended. In a large nonstick skillet, brown bratwursts over medium-high heat. Transfer to a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Add onion, chili sauce and root beer mixture.
Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until a thermometer inserted in sausage reads at least 160°. Serve in buns. If desired, top with onion and mustard.
