Octoberfest Bratwurst And Sauerkraut Skillet Recipes

BRATWURST AND SAUERKRAUT SKILLET

Steps:

• Brown sausages and onion slices in oil in a wide skillet. The sausages do not need to be cooked through at this stage, you just want to get some color on them.
• Add sauerkraut, sugar, and beer. Stir as best you can around the sausages.
• Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat, and simmer until sausages are cooked through.
• Spread buns or rolls with mustard, and add a sausage and a bit of the sauerkraut and onion to each.
• This is great accompanied by the same beer you cooked with.
