Garlic Pork Bratwurst with Sauerkraut

We picked up this fresh (frozen) garlic pork bratwurst from a local farm.  Decided to do a quick and easy dinner tonight.

Garlic Pork Bratwurst with Sauerkraut
1 package of bratwurst (4 links)
1 jar of sauerkraut, we used Eden Organic
Place bratwurst into a large pan made for the oven.  I used a Lodge brand iron skillet that has a lid.  Add sauerkraut and place in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven and bake for about 45 minutes, remove lid to check doneness of the bratwurst.

The meal was served with a baked Japanese sweet potatoes with butter and cinnamon, and a side salad.  The sweet potatoes can be cooked in the oven at the same time as the bratwurst, if they are small potatoes.  If they are large cook them in the microwave oven.

Simple and Easy Dinner

Ever have those nights were you really want something fast and easy?  That was tonight for us.

I grilled garlic bratwurst on the grill.  Served it wish canned sauerkraut and grilled sweet potatoes.

Grilled Sweet Potatoes
Take 2 Japanese sweet potato, slice super thin.  Place slices onto a piece of foil, overlap the slices slightly.  Add a couple of slices of butter; place the slices throughout the top of the sweet potato slices.    Place another piece of foil on top and turn up the ends so that you are sealing the potatoes into a foil packet.  Place the packet onto the grill over high heat, cook for 5 minutes, turn packet over and cook for another 5 minutes.  Removing to warming rack for 10 minutes.  Remove from heat.
