Intermediate

Smoked Bratwurst are cooked low and slow to keep all those juices in the casing to give you a burst of flavor when you take a bite. They’re tender on the inside with great smoky apple wood flavor. Then they’re topped with whole grain mustard and onions sautéed with butter, brown sugar and your favorite amber or pale ale for great texture.
