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

4 serv.
  • fresh bratwursts4
  • (12 ounce) bottle beer (do not use light beer)1
  • softened butter
  • 4 crusty rolls or 4 hot dog buns4
  • German mustard (or whatever mustard you prefer) or dijon-style mustard (or whatever mustard you prefer)
  • chopped fresh onion
  • pickle, sliced
  • sauerkraut (optional)

    optional

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Pierce each bratwurst 4 times with a fork and put the sausages in a pan large enough to hold them in one layer.

  2. 2

    Add beer and bring to a boil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Let simmer for 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Drain bratwurst; place on a prepared grill over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Grill for about 10 minutes or until well browned.

  6. 6

    Lightly butter the rolls; you can either toast them under the broiler or grill them until they are golden brown.

  7. 7

    Put brats in rolls; serve with mustard, onion, and pickles or sauerkraut.

  8. 8

    Sheboygan natives have been known to douse their bratwurst sandwiches with lots of hot melted butter.
