Sauerkraut

Mashed Potatoes

Applesauce

Method

Bratwurst Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Sausage Filling

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork and ground beef. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Slowly pour in the Katy Trail Pale Ale while mixing until the mixture is well combined.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Sausages

    Rinse the sausage casings in cold water, then soak them in water for about 30 minutes. Stuff the casings with the sausage mixture using a sausage stuffer, twisting them into links as you go. Tie the ends securely.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bratwurst

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Place the bratwurst on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned and cooked through.

Sauerkraut Preparation

  1. 4

    Heat the Sauerkraut

    In a saucepan, combine sauerkraut, caraway seeds, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Heat over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through.

Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Potatoes

    Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.

  2. 6

    Mash the Potatoes

    In a bowl, mash the potatoes with butter, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Applesauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Cook the Apples

    In a saucepan, combine the chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, and water. Cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples are soft.

  2. 8

    Mash the Apples

    Once the apples are soft, use a fork or potato masher to mash them to your desired consistency. Serve warm or chilled.
