Ingredients

8

bratwurst burger patties (4 to 6 oz each)

8

rye burger buns, split

8

slices (1 oz each) Swiss cheese

1

jar (16 oz) sauerkraut, drained, rinsed

1/2

cup Thousand Island dressing

Preparation

Heat gas or charcoal grill. When grill is heated, place bratwurst patties on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals; cover grill. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until patties are no longer pink in center.

Place buns, cut sides down, on grill and top each bratwurst patty with slice of cheese; cook about 1 minute or until buns are toasted and cheese is melted.

In medium microwavable bowl, microwave sauerkraut on High 1 to 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Stir in dressing.

Top bottom half of each bun with bratwurst patty and about 1/4 cup sauerkraut mixture. Cover with top halves of buns.
