Cheesy Brat Stew

I randomly found this recipe on a website during college and thought hey college kids like free food so if it tastes bad they can't complain... it was free right!  Turns out it was a huge success... It is popular among college kids and the hunter folk.  I have made it several time over the last few years for the the deer hunters in my life and it is loved by all.  It is pretty simple and you cook it in a crock pot... can't get much better than that.  My suggestion would be to serve it with a lighter bread or dinner rolls.  It is a hearty stew so you don't need a big side dish to go with it.  I have also tried substituting venison brats but they got to dried out.  You could probably try turkey brats also.  I have also added a can of mushrooms and chopped onions.

6 brats, cut in 1/2 in slices
4 medium potatoes (peeled and cubed)
1 tbsp minced onion
1 - 15oz can of green beans (drained)
1 small red bell pepper (seeded and chopped)
2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 -10.75oz can cream of mushroom soup
2/3 c. water

Place all ingredients in slow cooker; cover and cook on medium for 3 hrs or until potatoes are fork-tender.  Stir occasionally.
