- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
- Place 1 pound bratwurst sausages in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F. Brown sausages for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even golden color on all sides.
- Remove sausages and set aside. In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat at 325°F. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 1 sliced onion, 1 sliced bell pepper, and 1 cup sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning over the vegetables. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until vegetables become tender and slightly caramelized.
- Return bratwurst to the skillet with vegetables. Stir gently to combine and distribute butter and seasonings. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes at 350°F to heat everything thoroughly.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Transfer skillet contents to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot directly from the skillet.
Notes
- Check bratwurst internal temperature reaches 160°F for safe consumption.
- Use cast iron skillet for best caramelization and even heating of sausages.
- Cut bratwurst into diagonal slices to create more surface area for browning.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can brighten the final dish and add color and freshness.
