- 16 oz. brats - casings removed
- Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4-6 potato rolls - toasted
- Sliced tomatoes
- Torn lettuce
- Condiments of your choice - I used grainy mustard
Use the loose meat from the brats to form 4-6 patties of similar size and shape. Keep them under ¼" thick so they are easy to cook through.
Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat on the grill or stove. When the pan is hot, add the brat patties and allow them to sizzle for 2-3 minutes before flipping them and cooking them on the other side. A hot pan will really not take very long to fully cook the burgers. When you remove them from the pan, sprinkle shredded cheese on top and allow it to melt while you assemble the rest of the ingredients. You can toast the buns in the hot pan if you desire.
Place each burger on a toasted bun and add tomatoes, lettuce, and the condiments of your choice. Serve immediately.
