Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bratwurst and cook without moving for 3 minutes until the bottom edges brown.

  2. Step 2

    Turn bratwurst and cook another 3 minutes on the other side. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Lower heat to medium. Add sliced onion to the same skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in beer and mustard, scraping up any browned bits from the pan bottom. Return bratwurst to the skillet.

  5. Step 5

    Simmer for 2 minutes, turning sausages once. Sprinkle caraway seeds over the top if using.

  6. Step 6

    Toast rolls if desired, then fill each with one bratwurst and a spoonful of onions and sauce. Serve hot.
