Slow-Cooked Reuben Brats image

Sauerkraut gives these beer-simmered brats a big flavor boost, but it's the special chili sauce and melted cheese that put them over the top. Top your favorite burger with some of the chili sauce; you won't be sorry. -Alana Simmons, Johnstown, Pennsylvania

I'm not a big fan of brats, but I loved these. The meat was so tender and juicy, and the flavors were amazing. I'll definitely be making these again.

I've made these brats several times and they're always a hit. The meat is always juicy and flavorful, and the combination of sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing is perfect. I highly recommend this recipe.

These brats were a disappointment. The meat was dry and tough, and the flavors were bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

These brats were a little dry for my taste, but the flavors were good. I think I'll try cooking them in a little bit of liquid next time, like beer or broth.

These brats were a little too salty for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best brats he's ever had. I think I'll try making them again with less salt next time.

I'm not a big fan of sauerkraut, but I loved these brats. The meat was so flavorful and the cheese and dressing were the perfect touch. I'll definitely be making these again, but I'll probably leave off the sauerkraut.

I made these brats for a party and they were a huge success. Everyone loved them! I also made the homemade Thousand Island dressing, which was the perfect complement to the brats.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The brats are cooked in the slow cooker, so you can set it and forget it. I served them with mashed potatoes and green beans, and my family loved it.

I love Reuben sandwiches, so I was excited to try this recipe. I wasn't disappointed! The brats were cooked perfectly and the flavors were spot-on. I served them with extra sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing, and they were gone in no time.
