Ingredients: 6 bacon strips, diced; 1/3 cup chopped onion; 5 fully cooked bratwurst links, cut into 1/2-inch slices; 1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms; 1 tablespoon diced jalapeno pepper; 2 cups meatless spaghetti sauce; 2 ounces Gouda cheese, shredded; Hot cooked rice

With a zesty sauce and a shredded Gouda cheese that melts over the top, this saucy bratwurst dish, from our Test Kitchen, is a delicious combination that's swiftly prepared in a skillet. TIP: Out of Gouda? Try shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese instead.

Ingredients

6 bacon strips, diced
1/3 cup chopped onion
5 fully cooked bratwurst links, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon diced jalapeno pepper
2 cups meatless spaghetti sauce
2 ounces Gouda cheese, shredded
Hot cooked rice

Directions

In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium heat until bacon is almost crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain.
In the same skillet, saute the bratwurst, mushrooms and jalapeno for 3-4 minutes or until mushrooms are tender. Stir in spaghetti sauce and bacon mixture.
Cover and cook for 4-6 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve with rice.

Editor's Note

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

This was tasty and easy to make. I actually combined the Bratwurst dish with the rice and then baked it for 5 minutes to get the cheese all bubbly. yum!

This looks delicious but I would prepare without the bacon.
