Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion sliced
- ½ cup sauerkraut
- ¼ cup mayonnaise can be light
- 1 tablespoon mustard or dijon, German style
- 6 links bratwurst sausage
- 4 lices swiss cheese
- 4 Hamburger Bun
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, occasionally stirring, until it is very soft, about 7 minutes. Stir in the sauerkraut and remove the pan from the heat.
- While the onions are cooking, make the sauce. Mix the mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl.
- Remove and discard the sausage casings and place the meat in a bowl. Use your hands to break up the meat to resemble ground pork.
- Form the bratwurst meat into four burger patties.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. Once it's hot, cook the bratwurst burger patties until they are fully cooked and have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. See notes. Then top with the swiss cheese and let it melt. If you'd like, warm the burger buns. You can also sear these burgers in a dry pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes per side.
- Serve the burgers with the mustard mayo sauce and the onions piled on top.

Notes
- Keep the grill clean and have a spray bottle of water nearby to control flare-ups when cooking bratwurst burgers.
- Ensure the burgers reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption since they're made from sausage meat.
