Brown Sugar Brats Recipes

Steps:

• Crush celery seeds and caraway seeds in a mortar and pestle until ground; set aside.
• Place bratwursts into a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Mix beer, brown sugar, dry mustard, onion powder, black pepper, dill weed, and crushed celery and caraway seeds in a bowl, stirring to dissolve brown sugar; pour over the brats. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Uncover and raise heat to medium; boil the sauce until it reduces to a thick, syrupy liquid, about 20 minutes. Tilt skillet to roll brats in the sticky sauce until thoroughly coated. Transfer sausage to a platter and keep warm. Cook and stir sauerkraut in the same skillet to mix in any leftover sauce, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer sauerkraut to a serving platter and top with cooked bratwurst.

Steps:

• Place the pork in a large bowl and add the brown sugar, sage, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Mix well using your hands. Form patties from heaping 1/4 cups of the mixture, about 1/3-inch thick.
• Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the sausage patties in two batches until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, about 5 minutes per side. Serve warm with eggs or pancakes. (See Cook's Note.)

Steps:

• In 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook onions about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add bratwurst links; increase heat to medium-high. Cook about 8 minutes or until bratwurst are brown on all sides. Stir in apple cider and brown sugar. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium; simmer about 5 minutes. Remove bratwurst from skillet; place on plate. Cover; set aside.
• Add apple to skillet; cook 10 minutes or until apple softens and sauce thickens. Return bratwurst to skillet. Serve.

Steps:

• Cut your pork into about 1 inch cubes and place in a large bowl.

• Pour spice mixture over your cubed meat and mix well with your hands.
• Cover bowl and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
