Categories: Soups

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 can (15 oz.) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes

  • 1 pack (19 oz.) Johnsonville Original Brats, cut into 1/2" to 1" pieces
  • Shredded Monterey Jack cheese, for garnish
  • Sour cream, for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet; add the scallions, onion, garlic and a twist or two of freshly ground black pepper. Sauté until tender, stirring occasionally.

  2. Meanwhile, in a separate skillet sauté brat pieces until lightly cooked and golden brown on the outside, turning often.

  3. In a crockpot, combine the black beans, diced tomatoes and salsa; stir in the sautéed onion mixture and lightly cooked brat pieces.

  4. Cook on high for 3 hours then switch to low until ready to serve. Make sure the brats cook to an internal temperature of 160°F.

  5. Set out bowls of the shredded cheese and sour cream so fans can help themselves to toppings.

  6. Refrigerate leftovers.
