How to Make Authentic Wisconsin Bratwurst
- In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the bratwurst and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
- For extra flavor, during the last few minutes of cooking, add the beer and onions to the pan. Allow the beer to reduce slightly, coating the brats in deliciousness.
- Serve immediately on buns with your favorite toppings. Classic choices include mustard, sauerkraut, and grilled onions.
