Brats, Apples and Taters in a Creamy Mustard Sauce

Brats in sauce

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!
