German

Thermometer

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil (for easier clean up) and place the brats so they are not touching.

Bake for 10 minutes, turn, and bake for another 7 minutes.

Use a meat thermometer and make sure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F in the middle.

In the meantime, heat butter in a skillet until it slightly bubbles but doesn’t brown (medium-low heat).

Add sliced onions and cook for about 3 minutes until they become slightly caramelized.

Then, add the sliced peppers and cook everything for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the veggies to be al dente, still slightly firm.

Season with salt, pepper, and caraway seeds (if used), and taste.

Place brat on sandwich roll, smother with the onions and bell peppers, and finish off with a generous dollop of stone ground mustard,

Serve with a side of sauerkraut, potato salad, or cole slaw and - if you like beer - an ice cold glass of German lager or pilsner.
