Really nice sandwiches. I've never liked sauerkraut, but I thought I'd give it a try on top of these brats. We all really enjoyed it - my guys loved the touch of sweetness from the sweet onion and the brown sugar. A perfect use for a couple of bottles of beer that were past their prime. Thanks for sharing!

Family really enjoyed this. We also used homemade sauerkraut with this. Will make again.

Rita L, this is the very best bratwurst recipe I've tried. I did omit the sauerkraut and cooked in the oven. I layered butter, onions, sugar and caraway seeds in the bottom and placed the bratwursts on top. I baked at 325 for about 1 1/2 hrs and then turned the oven to broil so the tops could brown before serving. I also browned buns in a nonstick pan to serve them on for dinner. They were soooo delicious! Thanks!

Loved it! It was a nice fall day, and I planned to make these brats for lunch on the patio. A friend dropped by and we had a great meal and relaxing afternoon chatting under the fall sun. Earlier in the week, I picked up a new whole grain mustard especially for this recipe — regular old prepared mustard wasn't going to cut it, and I'm glad we had something special. I added about 1/2 tsp. of caraway seeds because a pinch just didn't seem to be enough. An excellent lunch, and the leftovers were enjoyed the next day too!
