BEER & CHEDDAR BRATWURST

The perfect bite will yield crunchy sauerkraut and sautéed onions with spicy mustard. This is a brat lover’s dream recipe.

• 5 beer and cheddar bison bratwursts

• 3 tbsp butter

• 1 medium onion

• 1 package refrigerated sauerkraut, rinsed and drained well

• 5 whole wheat hoagie buns

• Whole grain mustard to taste, if desired

1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add bratwurst, and reduce heat to simmer. Cook until sausages have reached an internal temperature of 160°, or 5-7 minutes.

2. Add butter to a non-stick pan, and set heat to high. Sautee onions until browned, then add sauerkraut, and continue to cook until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Remove bratwurst from water, and place in buns. Top with sauerkraut and onion mixture.

4. Dress with your favorite whole grain or ball park mustard.
