BRATWURST STEWED WITH SAUERKRAUT
Wisconsin may be the cheese state, but bratwurst (ground meat sausages that are grilled, or in this case, pan-fried) are the state's culinary claim to fame. Due largely to residents' German ancestry, brats are a common site at butcher shops, restaurants and even baseball stadiums. (Madison, Wisconsin is home to an annual "Brat Fest") Michael Symon's simple recipe calls for the links to be cooked with onions, garlic and tangy sauerkraut and then served on a baguette.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat on one side and low heat on the other side.
- Prepare the brat hot tub: In a 12-by-10-inch aluminum roasting pan, combine the hard cider, butter and onions. Place on the hot side of the grill.
- Grill the brats on the cool side of the grill with the lid closed until the internal temperature of the brats reaches 160 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes per side. Transfer the brats to the brat hot tub, close the grill and simmer for 10 to 15 more minutes.
- Put the sauerkraut and caraway seeds in a small flameproof skillet and place directly on the grill until just warmed through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add 1 cup of the 18,000 Island Dressing and toss to combine.
- For assembly: Nestle a bratwurst and a couple slices of the braised onions into each bun. Smother in warm Swiss Cheese Sauce, then top with some of the kraut mixture. Garnish with sliced chives and thin slices of Fresno pepper if using.
- In a food processor, add the mayonnaise, ketchup, jalapenos, Dijon, garlic and some salt. Puree, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Set a medium saucepan over low heat and add the evaporated milk. Toss the Swiss cheese and cornstarch together in a bowl until totally coated. Whisk the Swiss and American cheese into the saucepan and heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is completely melted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right bratwurst: Look for fresh, high-quality bratwurst that is made with pork, beef, or veal. Avoid bratwurst that is made with fillers or extenders.
- Brown the bratwurst before adding it to the sauerkraut: This will help to develop the flavor of the bratwurst and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Use a good quality sauerkraut: Look for sauerkraut that is made with fresh cabbage and has a tangy, sour flavor. Avoid sauerkraut that is made with vinegar or other artificial flavors.
- Add some caraway seeds: Caraway seeds are a traditional addition to sauerkraut and bratwurst. They add a warm, slightly nutty flavor to the dish.
- Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or bread: Mashed potatoes or bread are a great way to soak up the juices from the bratwurst and sauerkraut.
