Bratwurst Mash-Up

Although it's still August and most of us are simply trying to bear up under the heat, this recipe is a winner for all seasons. One pot cooking in your slow cooker keeps the kitchen heat down during the summer months. And as the days start to wane, this is a perfect dish to warm your tummy.

This is an original recipe that I concocted when we had no idea what we wanted for supper. It's easy to make and satisfying. Hope you like it.
