Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Beer brats are the move for taking your cookout game to the next level. A combo of beer and cola keeps the brats moist without being too sweet and the peppers and onions make a righteous topping.

10 bratwurst
10 hot Italian sausages
6 bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced in strips

directions
Place the bratwurst and Italian sausages in the crock pot. Layer the bell peppers and onions on top of the meats.
Add the beer, soy sauce, garlic powder, chili powder, and cola to the crock pot. If the meat and vegetables are not covered by liquid, add additional beer until they are fully covered.
Cover the crock pot and cook on high heat for 2-3 hours or until the sausages are cooked through.
Remove the bratwurst, sausages, and vegetables with tongs or a slotted spoon and place on buns. Top with any desired condiments such as spicy mustard or ketchup. Serve immediately.
crock pot notes
Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.common recipe questions
Why is diet cola not recommended?
Diet soft drinks contain artificial sweeteners which can develop a bitter taste when cooked. The amount of sugar that is consumed from cooking the ingredients in the regular cola is negligible.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

This makes some of the most wonderful brats! The beer and cola mixture really gives it a good flavor without being too sweet like I often find recipes that use something like bbq sauce in them. And since it's in the crock pot you can cook this anytime of the year and not just during grilling season.
