1
["Pre-heat over to 325.
2
Sweat onion in a large Dutch oven for until translucent and then add cabbage and rest of ingredients. (Add one can/bottle of beer at first and reserve rest for later) Cook for 5 minutes or so on stovetop and then transfer, covered into oven. Cook for at least an hour - checking periodically to make sure nothing is burning and stirring in more beer if too dry. You can braise this as long as you like, the flavors just get better and deeper.", "After about at 1 or 1 1/2, add a combination of smoked ""brats"" or ""wursts"" from your store. I like to cook them until they puff up and the casings start to crack. About a half hour. Again keep stirring and checking pot periodically.

After a few hours you have a wonderful dish you can serve with dark bread, a variety of mustards and great beer!

PS Fish out Bay and Juniper berries (if you can) before serving."]
