Pan-Roasted Bratwurst Skillet Meal

Get ready for a flavor explosion with this bratwurst skillet meal recipe. Roasting these ingredients together melds the flavors into a pan of pure deliciousness.

A few months ago I spend some time traveling along the Romantic Road in Germany. The food was so amazing, especially in Wurzburg. I miss it already!

My first time in Germany was with Viking Cruises, where they always showcase the food of the region. That was an incredible trip. If you haven’t sailed with them, check out whey you should consider a river cruise with your family.

I remember when I first told people I was going to Germany. Knowing I’m a foodie, they said not to get too excited about the food.

Turns out they were wrong about this wonderful country not having great cuisine! But I get it – many people think German food is not all that special.

Growing up, the only German food I was introduced to was sauerkraut. I thought it was disgusting when presented as a topping for a hot dog.

I did try it when I was a kid and again as an adult. What was I missing? Now I know.

We, for the most part, don’t know how to prepare sauerkraut or other German dishes here in the states. I had so much wonderful food in Germany, and can’t wait to go back and try more. Let me know what you think of this recipe!
