Slow Cooker Beer Brats with Onions

Embracing Healthful Indulgence

This recipe is definitely a hearty indulgence, but it can be balanced with a few simple choices. Choose leaner bratwurst when available, use plenty of onions, serve with a whole-grain bun, and add sauerkraut or a fresh vegetable salad. Keeping toppings such as cheese and creamy sauces moderate can also reduce the overall calorie and fat content while preserving the satisfying character of the dish.
