Ingredients

• 4 pieces bratwurst sausages
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1.5 cups sour cream
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 2

Add the bratwurst sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausages and set them aside.

Step 3

Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic in the skillet and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

Step 7

Return the browned bratwurst sausages to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the sausages simmer gently in the sauce for 10 minutes, turning them halfway through for even cooking.

Step 8

If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the bratwurst and sour cream sauce warm alongside mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or crusty bread.
