Hearty bratwurst, beer, tangy sauerkraut and nutty Swiss cheese are baked together in this delicious and savory Oktoberfest Pie.
All the flavors of the celebrated annual Oktoberfest fall festival are present in this tasty and satisfying family recipe!
Oktoberfest Pie is super easy to make and bakes up in a little over 30 minutes, perfect for a weeknight family meal.
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.
