1 teaspoon butter
1 pack of hamburger buns

Prepare the bratwurst: Remove bratwurst from its casing if necessary. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of butter.

Cook the bratwurst: Place bratwurst in the skillet or grill pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned and fully cooked. You can also grill the bratwurst for a smoky flavor, cooking each side for about 5-7 minutes.
-
Toast the buns: While bratwurst is cooking, split the hamburger buns and toast them in the skillet or on the grill until golden brown.
-
Assemble the brat burgers: Place each bratwurst on a toasted hamburger bun. Top with your favorite toppings like sauerkraut, mustard, pickles, onions, or cheese.
-
Serve: Enjoy your brat burgers with a side of fries, chips, or a fresh salad.

Cheese lovers: Add a slice of melted cheese such as cheddar, Swiss, or provolone for a creamy finish.
-
Spicy twist: Add jalapeños, spicy mustard, or hot sauce to your brat burger for an extra kick.
