Instructions

In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Brown the bratwurst sausages until well-seared.
Transfer the browned brats to the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
Add the remaining butter and sliced onions to the skillet. Sauté until the onions are caramelized.
Layer the caramelized onions over the brats in the slow cooker. Then, add the mustard, minced garlic, and beer, pouring it around the brats.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the brats are cooked through.
Serve the brats on toasted hoagie rolls and enjoy immediately. Alternatively, keep warm until ready to serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, try using flavored beer, such as a stout or lager.
Feel free to add sliced bell peppers for additional texture and taste.
To toast hoagie rolls, simply place them under the broiler for a minute before serving.
