Oven Braised Beer Brats 

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Brown the Brats:
   • In an oven-safe skillet or a Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the bratwurst sausages on all sides until they have a nice color.
3. Sauté Vegetables:
   • Add sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Add Garlic and Caraway Seeds:
   • Add minced garlic and caraway seeds (if using) to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Deglaze with Beer:
   • Pour the beer into the skillet, using it to deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
6. Season and Simmer:

1. Stir in Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
2. Braise in the Oven:
   • Place the skillet in the preheated oven. Braise the brats in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they are fully cooked and the flavors are well combined.
3. Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and serve the beer-braised brats on rolls. Spoon some of the onions and peppers over the sausages.
4. Optional Toppings:
   • Add mustard and sauerkraut as toppings if desired.
5. Enjoy:
   • Enjoy your oven-braised beer brats with your favorite sides and a cold beverage!

This recipe is perfect for a casual and comforting meal. The beer adds a rich flavor to the brats, and the onions and peppers complement the dish beautifully. Serve with your preferred sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
