All the flavors of the celebrated annual Oktoberfest fall festival are present in this tasty and satisfying family recipe. This Oktoberfest Pie is super easy to make and bakes up in a little over 30 minutes, perfect for a weeknight family meal.
About the Ingredients
- Bratwurst Sausage – 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 a cup of sauerkraut from a jar that we keep in the fridge but if you want to use the canned version (typically a 14-15 ounce can) you can drain it and use the entire amount in this recipe.
- 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 – We use the standard whatever you have in your pantry staples for these ingredients but if you have Bisquick baking mix, you can use 3/4 of a cup of that instead of 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.
