🌭 Ingredients

For the Bratwurst:

• 4–6 bratwurst sausages
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup beer or water (for simmering)

For the Mushroom Gravy:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 oz mushrooms (cremini, button, or your choice), sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups beef broth
• 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional for extra richness)
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook the bratwurst: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the bratwurst and brown on all sides, about 2–3 minutes per side. Pour in the beer or water, cover the skillet, and let the bratwurst simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté the onions and garlic: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic; cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
3. Cook the mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms; cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender.
4. Make the gravy: Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir well. Cook for 1–2 minutes, then gradually whisk in beef broth. Simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened.
5. Finish the gravy: Stir in Worcestershire sauce and heavy cream (if using). Season with salt and pepper.
6. Serve: Return bratwurst to the skillet, spoon mushroom gravy on top, and garnish with parsley. Serve with mashed potatoes, noodles, or your favorite sides.

💡 Helpful Tips

• For extra flavor, simmer the bratwurst in beer instead of water for a traditional German twist.
• Pairs beautifully with sauerkraut, roasted veggies, or pretzels.
• Let the gravy simmer longer for a thicker consistency.
