Wisconsin Bratwurst
These Wisconsin brats are incredibly tasty! This is the only way to cook bratwurst in Wisconsin. If you can get fresh bratwurst from a sausage shop, do it — it is worth the extra cost. Serve with brown mustard on substantial hoagie rolls, never on hot dog buns. Mustard is important and must always be stone ground. Add warm sauerkraut and ketchup, if you like. Chow down!
