A nod to both my German heritage and classic diner fare, this bratwurst sandwich recipe comes together in a snap and can be made all in one skillet! I serve it with a green vegetable and french fries or mashed potatoes on the side. Cook sausages in lager or stout beer for a deeper flavor profile. —Allison Ochoa, Hays, Kansas

Time 25m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (1 lb) package bratwurst (5 per package)
1 (12 ounce) beer
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
2 beef bouillon cubes (or packets)
1/4 teaspoon white pepper (to taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Cook Brats over medium heat. Pierce casings all over with pointed end of knife or use fork. This will allow the fat to drip out into pan and prevent sausages from bursting. Brown on all sides until no pink shows on inside. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • To make gravy: Take a container with a sealable lid (like tupperware) and pour the beer into it. Add Italian seasoning, beef boullion, pepper and cornstarch. Place lid on tight and shake to blend ingredients. Open lid between shakes to relieve the gas pressure from the beer or you'll have a big mess to clean up.
  • Pour beer mixture into pan drippings. Turn up heat to medium high. Stir using a wire whisk, loosening bits from bottom of pan. Gravy is done when you see it bubbling.
  • Too thick? Add more beer. Too thin? Add more beer mixed with a little cornstarch. Do not add dry cornstarch directly to hot gravy. You will get lumps.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and a green veggie.

Yield Makes 2 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup beer
3 tablespoons coarse-grained Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
3 1/2-inch-thick red onion slices
4 links fully cooked bratwurst (about 10 ounces), halved lengthwise
2 slices caraway rye bread (each about 3x5 inches)

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Whisk beer, mustard, oil and thyme in small bowl to blend. Brush both sides of onion slices with some of mustard dressing, being careful to keep slices intact.
  • Grill onion and bratwurst until onion is tender and slightly charred at edges and bratwurst is golden brown, turning twice, about 10 minutes for onion and 6 minutes for bratwurst. Grill bread until lightly toasted, about 1 minute per side.
  • Place toasted bread on plates. Brush with some of mustard dressing. Top bread with bratwurst; separate onion slices into rings and arrange over bratwurst. Drizzle remaining mustard dressing over onions and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality bratwurst: Look for bratwurst made with fresh, coarsely ground pork and a flavorful blend of spices. Avoid bratwurst that is made with fillers or preservatives.
  • Cook the bratwurst properly: Bratwurst can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most common methods are grilling, pan-frying, or baking. No matter which method you choose, make sure to cook the bratwurst until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Use a good quality beer for the gravy: The beer that you use for the gravy will have a big impact on the flavor of the finished dish. Choose a beer that you enjoy drinking, and that has a flavor that you think will complement the bratwurst.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for open-faced bratwurst sandwiches. Some popular options include sauerkraut, onions, peppers, and cheese. Get creative and find a combination of toppings that you love.

Conclusion:
