Bratwurst Bake

simplerich's Note:

A surprising twist on a bratwurst that doesn't involve a grill or beer, and is great for cold days.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 6 bratwursts
• 1 medium white onion
• 1 apple
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon course black pepper

Directions:

1. Rub the defrosted brats with the garlic and leave it stuck to the brats.
2. Lay the brats in the bottom of a foil lined pan, leave enough foil on the sides to tent it over the brats later.
3. Quarter the onion and apple and spread the pieces out over the brats.
4. Sprinkle the pepper over the whole thing and seal the foil over the top.
5. Bake in a 350 oven for an hour.

I was dying to eat some bratwursts, but I don't have a grill, so I was glad to find this recipe. It was absolutely delicious! I've made it twice and have some tips: (1) The amount of garlic is good, don't think it's too much. (2) I chose to use less pepper; as written, it's a bit strong. (3) Intersperse the apple, which you want to cut into smaller slices, and onion with the brats. Don't layer the onions on top; they won't take in the brat flavor. This recipe is wonderful and is now a staple for me!

Tasted great! Instead of baking for an hour, I placed the foil packet into my crock pot after lunch. No mess supper that stayed warm for staggered eating. I think I'll try it with Italian sausage next time.

Followed recipe exactly (except I, too, cooked these in a skillet on the stove) and was rewarded with the best tasting brats we have ever had! Toward the end of cooking I added some plain sauerkraut to the mix because we always serve our brats with kraut. The next day, leftovers made awesome sandwiches on hotdog buns for lunch. This recipe is a winner and I plan to use this seasoning method whenever I make brats from now on. Thank you so much for this recipe.
