👉Ingredients:

🔸️For the Bratwurst:

↪️4-6 bratwurst sausages

↪️1 tablespoon olive oil

↪️1/2 cup beer or water (for simmering)

🔸️For the Mushroom Gravy:

↪️2 tablespoons unsalted butter

↪️1 small onion, finely chopped

↪️2 cloves garlic, minced

↪️8 oz mushrooms (cremini, button, or your choice), sliced

↪️2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

↪️1 1/2 cups beef broth

↪️1/4 cup heavy cream (optional for extra richness)

↪️1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

↪️Salt and pepper to taste

↪️Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

👉Instructions:

▶️For the Bratwurst:

✅️1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the bratwurst and brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

✅️2. Pour in the beer or water, cover the skillet, and let the bratwurst simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove the bratwurst from the skillet and set aside.

▶️For the Mushroom Gravy:

✅️1. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.

✅️2. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.

✅️3. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

✅️4. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let the gravy simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until it thickens.

✅️5. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and heavy cream (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
