Servings 8 bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 2 12-ounce bottles of dark beer (we used Highlander Scottish Winter Ale)
  • 1 lb Pioneer Meats Herder Style Bratwurst
  • 1 lb fresh bratwurst sausage links
  • 4 slices Pioneer Meats Bacon
  • 2 cups onions sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 3 small red potatoes cubed
  • 2 large carrots peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 TBSP Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • Crusty bread for serving

Instructions
 

  • Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. When hot, cook the bacon until it is crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on paper towels to drain. Chop the bacon when cooled.
  • Add the bratwurst links to the bacon oil, turn down the heat, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan and set them aside to cool slightly. Slice the sausage links into 1-inch pieces and set them aside.
  • Add the onions to the pan and cook, stirring often, until lightly brown and wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Pour the beer into the Dutch oven and bring to a boil.
  • Add the sliced bratwurst to the beer and bacon sauce. Stir in the beef stock, potatoes, carrots, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to a medium-low, and cover.
  • Place the Dutch oven in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir the crispy bacon into the stew and serve hot with crusty bread.
