🔥 Directions
1. Brown the Bratwurst
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little oil or butter.
- Sear the bratwurst on all sides until golden brown (5–7 minutes).
- Optional: Add a splash of beer or water, cover, and let them steam for another 5 minutes to cook through.
- Remove bratwurst and set aside (keep warm).
2. Make the Mushroom Gravy
- In the same skillet, add butter and a bit of oil. Sauté the onions until soft and translucent.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and tender—don’t rush this! It builds flavor.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.

- Season with salt, pepper, and a touch of fresh parsley.
3. Bring It All Together
- Return the bratwurst to the pan and spoon that mushroom gravy all over.
- Simmer gently for another couple of minutes so the flavors mingle.
