I love Brats! (As long as kids aren’t involved!) This is a super low maintenance meal that is ultra-budget friendly! I’m putting together a week of “budget meals” and this is one– more on how much it all costs next week when I add up my grocery tally….
And, I love when I don’t have to cook extra veggies— it’s all thrown in together and tastes fabulous. I decided to add the creamy mustard sauce because everything looked a little dry without some saucy-sauce. The hint of sweet with the savory mustard and the sour of the sauerkraut was THE BOMB. Initially, when I served it to JP, he said, “Um, honey, there’s nothing I hate more than sauerkraut….” MMMMK.
Well, he ended up licking his plate and going back for seconds. And thirds.
Winner, winner, Brats for dinner!
