Spice Up Your Dinner Tonight

Everyone loves the traditional bratwurst grilled, nestled into a bun and slapped with loads of toppings. During winter grilling might not be an easy option. If you are a midwestern, you are probably getting tired of the usual winter comfort casseroles and soups. Don't get me wrong they are tasty, but about now you are probably ready to spice up dinner and looking forward to bratwursts. If that is the case, this is just the recipe for you!

Spicy Jalapeno & Pepper Cheese Bratwurst Supper

Ingredients:
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon dice jalapeno peppers
2 cups meatless spaghetti sauce
2 ounces Gouda cheese, shredded
6 strips of bacon, diced from Triple T Meats
4 Jalapeno & Pepper Cheese Bratwursts from Triple T Meats located at 401 Sherman Avenue Ackley, Iowa 50601 (If you don't live in the Ackley area and want to mail order our delicious bratwurst right to your door, call us at 641-847-0031)

Directions:
In a large skillet, fully cook the bratwursts and remove to the side. Cook the bacon and onion over medium heat, remove before the bacon gets crispy and place on paper towels to absorb the grease. In the same skillet, saute the bratwurst, mushrooms and jalapeno for 3-4 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender. Stir in spaghetti sauce and bacon mixture. Cover and cook until heated through (approximately 4-6 minutes). Remove to plate and sprinkle cheese on top. Serve with rice.

Makes 4 servings.
