Ingredients:

6 slices Thick Applewood bacon cut into medium pieces
1 whole Medium yellow onion Julienned small
1 tsp Garlic minced
1 whole Large red apple cored and Julienned
1 cup Carrots shredded
1 1/2 cup Red cabbage shredded
1 1/2 cup Green cabbage shredded
2 tsp Caraway seed
2 tbsp Seasoned salt
3 tbsp Dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp Smoked black pepper
2 cups Low sodium chicken stock
1 cup Dark or amber beer

Directions:

Place your Cast Iron Dutch Oven on the stove, pre heat on high heat for 5-7 Minutes.
Once heated, add the bacon and cook until rendered and bacon starts to caramelize.
Add the caraway, onions and garlic. Sauté in the bacon fat until onions are soft and translucent.
Add the carrots, apples and cabbage. Sauté for 5 minutes to soften.
Add the seasoned salt, pepper, sugar and mix well.
Add the Chicken stock and choice of Beer – we prefer an amber or darker beer.
Cover the cast iron dutch oven and cook on medium heat for about 20 minutes.
Remove cover, stir well and continue to cook on medium heat until 80% of liquid has evaporated.
Adjust seasoning as needed. If too much liquid evaporates add more stock.
Serve hot with grilled or smoked Polidori Beer Brats!
