Lightly coat a 6 quart of larger slow cooker with non stick spray.
Set a skillet to medium high heat and brown the brats. Use tongs to rotate and brown each side - about 1 minute per side.
19 ounces brats
Pour tomatoes and spread in an even layer in the bottom of the crock.
14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
Lay brats in a single layer over the tomatoes.
If using beer add to the crock now. The juice in the tomatoes works fine too.
1 cup beer
Sprinkle garlic (optional) over the brats.
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Add slices of bell pepper and onion.
1 medium sweet onion, 1 bell pepper
Set to high and cook for one hour. Then turn down to low and cook for four more hours. Brats are safe to eat when they've reached an internal temperature of 160℉.
