Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup half-and-half cream
  • 2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Dash paprika
  • 4 fully cooked bratwurst links (about 12 ounces)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sauerkraut, rinsed and drained, warmed

Directions

  1. For sauce, mix first 5 ingredients. Cut each bratwurst into thirds; thread onto 4 metal or soaked wooden skewers.
  2. Grill brats, covered, over medium heat until golden brown and heated through, 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve with sauerkraut and sauce.


Test Kitchen Tips
  • Stone-ground mustard has more heat and a deeper flavor than yellow mustard. Other mustards can be substituted.
  • Starting this recipe with cooked brats makes it speedy and convenient. If you decide to start with uncooked brats, grill them until fully cooked first, then cut into thirds and proceed with the recipe.
