Steps
Put a very light layer of oil in a non-stick skillet. (You don't need much at all if you're using Beyond Meat bratwurst, because they release a lot of oil on their own as they cook.) Bring to a medium heat, and add sliced vegan bratwurst to the skillet. Brown on one side. Then flip them and brown on the other side.
Add chopped yellow onions to the skillet. Cook for a few minutes, until they are translucent and fragrant.
Add beer to the skillet. Allow the beer to simmer, cook down in the skillet, and be absorbed into the bratwurst and onions. It will take about 15 minutes until most of the beer is gone. If the beer isn't cooking off quickly enough, turn up the heat.
Add the sauerkraut. (Don't worry if it includes some of the juices from the jar. That will add moisture and sop up anything on the pan.) Fully incorporate the sauerkraut with the sausages and onions. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes more, while the sauerkraut warms.
Serve the bratwurst and sauerkraut with mustard mashed potatoes, vegan pierogi, or on a pretzel bun. If you like, garnish with sliced scallion.

Tammy on 2024-04-09 (5 stars): This was absolutely delicious! My daughter is not a fan of sauerkraut or brats and she loved it too. The sauerkraut and onion mixture was so good and even the brats were nicely colored from the beer cooking down. I will always make them this way. I didn't slice them because we had them on hoagie rolls with mustard. Thank you!
