I have never been to Sheboygan, Wisconsin but I am told it is refered to as the “Wurst City in the World”. Bratwurst was brought to America by German immigrants. There is disagreement even among Wisconsinites re: the “only” way to cook brats. Here is one way that my husband tried out on us. I loved it and decided to post this recipe.
Ingredients: [‘bratwursts’, ‘beer’, ‘butter’, ‘rolls’, ‘german mustard’, ‘fresh onion’, ‘pickle’, ‘sauerkraut’]
Quantity of Ingredients: [“4 fresh bratwursts”,”1 (12 ounce) bottle beer (do not use light beer)”,” softened butter”,”4 crusty rolls or 4 hot dog buns”,” German mustard (or whatever mustard you prefer) or dijon-style mustard (or whatever mustard you prefer)”,” chopped fresh onion”,” pickle, sliced “,” sauerkraut”]
Number of Servings: 4
Steps: [‘Pierce each bratwurst 4 times with a fork and put the sausages in a pan large enough to hold them in one layer.’, ‘Add beer and bring to a boil over medium heat.’, ‘Let simmer for 15-20 minutes.’, ‘Drain bratwurst; place on a prepared grill over medium-high heat.’, ‘Grill for about 10 minutes or until well browned.’, ‘Lightly butter the rolls; you can either toast them under the broiler or grill them until they are golden brown.’, ‘Put brats in rolls; serve with mustard, onion, and pickles or sauerkraut.’, ‘Sheboygan natives have been known to douse their bratwurst sandwiches with lots of hot melted butter.’]
