    Servings and Ingredients

    Ingredients
    Serves 4
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    1 recipe Caramelized Onions
    8 (4 oz each) bratwurst patties
    8 slice(s) Hy-Vee Muenster and/or aged Cheddar cheese
    4 Hy-Vee Bakery pretzel buns
    4 tbsp. cranberry mustard or coarse ground mustard
    1 medium apple, cored and thinly sliced
    2 c. arugula
    Apple vinaigrette dressing, optional

    Directions

    1. Prepare Caramelized Onions.
    2. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct cooking over medium heat.
    3. Grill patties on a well-greased rack for 10 to 12 minutes or until internal temperature of patties are 160 degrees, turning once halfway through. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, top patties with cheese and place buns, cut sides down, directly over heat to toast. Remove from grill; let patties rest for 5 minutes.
    4. Spread bun bottoms with mustard. Layer with two cheese-topped patties, Caramelized Onions, apple slices and arugula. If desired, drizzle with dressing. Add bun tops.
    5. CARAMELIZED ONIONS: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons Hy-Vee butter over medium-low heat. Add 2 large, thinly sliced sweet onions (such as Vidalia or Walla Walla) and 2 tablespoons Hy-Vee sugar to skillet. Cook for 30 minutes or until onions are well-browned, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add 1/4 cup brandy or Hy-Vee apple juice. Bring mixture to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, until onions are glazed.
