1 tablespoon cooking oil

4 Bratwurst sausages
Serve with mustard and sauerkraut on the side, if desired.
Notes
Sausage varieties: The recipe calls for bratwurst specifically, but any variety of sausage will work. Keep in mind that pork sausage such as bratwurst or andouille with often be juicier and more flavorful than other varieties. If you are looking for a lighter alternative, chicken and turkey sausage links are available in most grocery stores and specialty butcher shops.
Fridge storage: Leftover links can be refrigerated for up to 3 to 4 days, and repurposed for other meals, such as being incorporated into spaghetti sauce, a homemade pizza, or a hearty breakfast scramble.
Freezer storage: You can also freeze cooked sausage for up to 2 to 3 months in an airtight container.
