Ingredients for Oktoberfest Pie on a serving board.

What You’ll Need to Make Oktoberfest Pie

  • Bratwurst – You’ll need 2 cups of cooked brats which is about 3-4 cooked sausages. This is great if you have leftovers to use up. We have also used Italian sausage and Kielbasa in this with great results!

  • Sauerkraut – Drained, best with the liquid squeezed out so it is not too wet. We use sauerkraut from a jar but a can of sauerkraut (14-15 oz), drained is a great alternative.

  • Swiss cheese – For the best flavor, use Swiss cheese. In a pinch, Fontina or sharp Cheddar cheese can be used in place of the Swiss.

  • Flour, Baking Powder and Salt – If you have Bisquick baking mix, you can substitute 3/4 of a cup of Bisquick rather than the individual ingredients.

  • Canola Oil – Vegetable oil or Olive oil may be used in place of the Canola oil.

  • Beer – This can be any kind of beer, regular or non alcoholic.

  • Milk – Any kind of milk may be used to make this. This includes Almond milk, half & half or heavy cream.

  • Eggs – We use large sized eggs. If you have small eggs, use 3 instead of 2.
