Slow cooker Bratwurst

This meal is not technical or challenging at all. It's one of my quick and easy meals that I throw together once a month or so when I don't feel like cooking. But sometimes those are the best meals to share with friends!

I just throw a jar (or can) of sauerkraut into the crock pot with about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of brown sugar and a package of fresh or frozen bratwurst. (usually 5 count, but tonight it was 10). Let it slow cook on high till boiling, then turn to low till you're ready to eat.

We either eat them plain, with roasted potatoes and a veggie side, or on a hoggie roll (large hot dog bun) with mustard and loads of sauerkraut. The brats literally just melt in your mouth, they're SO good, and the brown sugar takes the edge of the sauerkraut so it's actually edible:) We had this for dinner tonight, and it's one of my husband's favorites, made perfect on a snowy winters evening.
