Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bratwurst sausages
- 2 cups sauerkraut
- 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
Place the bratwurst sausages in the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sauerkraut and sauté it in the remaining butter and browned bits for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine it with the sauerkraut. Let the mixture warm gently for 2 minutes.
Slice the cooked bratwurst into bite-sized pieces and add them back to the skillet, stirring them into the creamy sauerkraut mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt, about 3-4 minutes.
Serve hot and enjoy your Cheesy Bratwurst and Sauerkraut dish!
