Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 bratwurst sausages
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sugar to the onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- While the onions are caramelizing, grill or pan-fry the bratwurst sausages until they are cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise and lightly toast them.
- To assemble the sandwiches, place a grilled bratwurst sausage in each hoagie roll. Top with a generous amount of caramelized onions and sauerkraut.
- Serve the bratwurst sandwiches immediately and enjoy!
