Ingredients and Variations
Bratwurst – There are a variety of Johnsonville brats from cheddar cheese to beer brats, just be sure to check if they are raw, pre-cooked, or fully cooked and adjust cook times as necessary. Frozen brats will need more cook time. Try German sausage, chicken sausage, or beef in this recipe!
Toppings – Use your favorite simple condiments like ketchup, mustard, and relish. Sauerkraut, grilled onions, stone ground mustard, horseradish, or pickled jalapenos will uplevel your brats flavor!
Rolls – Sturdy rolls only, for brats! These thick and hearty dogs need a dense roll, especially if they’ll be smothered in toppings. We like hoagie rolls, pretzel rolls, or ciabatta buns. Skip the rolls for an easy low carb and keto dinner.
