Sheboygan Beer and Brat Stew image

Since I'm a native of Sheboygan, WI, where beer, brats and cheese are the traditional fare, I felt that I needed to create a dish that reminds me of home.

Time 3h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

6 johnsonville stadium bratwursts
16 ounces beer (I use Budweiser.)
8 baby red potatoes
1 beef bouillon cube (or use packet from a package of beef ramon noodles)
water
10 1/2 ounces cream of onion soup
8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
pepper

Steps:

Slice brats into bite-size pieces and place in a kettle.
Pour beer over brats and place in refrigerator to marinate for at least 3 hours.
Cut potatoes into bite-size pieces and place inside slow cooker.
Add just enough water to cover potatoes.
Stir in beef seasoning packet.
Stir in Cream of Onion soup.
Cook until potatoes are tender. (This will take around 3 hours at the low setting.) Be sure to stir occasionally.
When potatoes are tender, heat brats in beer to a rolling boil.
Boil for 3 minutes while stirring.
Pour about 3/4 cup of boiled beer into potato mixture. (This doesn't need to be measured nor exact. Add to gain the consistency that you desire.).
Drain remaining beer from kettle and brown bratwurst pieces.
Add cheese to potato mixture.
Add browned brats to potato mixture.
Add pepper to taste.
Stir well and serve.
