Bratwurst in a Bun Recipe

German · Main course · 35 min total

A classic German street food featuring juicy bratwurst sausages simmered in beer and onions, then served in crusty rolls with mustard and sauerkraut.

Ingredients

• 4 fresh bratwurst sausages
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup beer (lager or ale)
• 4 crusty hoagie or bratwurst rolls
• 4 tablespoons German mustard
• 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and warmed

Instructions

1. Prick bratwursts with a fork to prevent bursting. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
2. Add sliced onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in beer and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits.
3. Return sausages to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until sausages are cooked through and flavors meld, about 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, warm the rolls in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes. Split rolls open but not all the way through.
5. Place a bratwurst in each roll. Top with onions from the skillet, a generous spread of mustard, and a spoonful of sauerkraut.

Tips

• For extra flavor, use a dark beer like a bock or dunkel.
• Serve with potato salad or German-style potato chips.
• Leftover sausages and onions can be refrigerated and reheated gently.
