10 bratwurst links
1 qt. light beer, your preference (or ginger ale)
1 Spanish onion, thinly sliced
2 T. vegetable oil
1½ c. sauerkraut, drained
10 pretzel slider buns, cut in half with the insides buttered
1 c. 1000 Island dressing
10 slices Wisconsin Swiss cheese
In a medium saucepan, combine beer, bratwurst and onions; bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer; cook for 13 minutes; turn off heat; keep warm.
Heat a large griddle pan over medium-high heat; add vegetable oil; when hot, add sauerkraut; cook until lightly golden and heated through.
Remove brats from the beer; add to the griddle; brown on all sides; remove from griddle; add slider buns, buttered side down, until lightly golden.
Slice the beer brats in half, once horizontally and once vertically, making 4 pieces from each brat. Layer all 4 slices in the bottom of the pretzel bun; top with 1 slice of Swiss cheese, followed by some warm sauerkraut, a few onions from the beer pot and last with 1,000 Island dressing. Top with the top of the pretzel bun.
Serve immediately.
10 sliders.
*Tip: Cook the brats early in the day and keep warm in the beer in a slow cooker.
