14oz can of Frank’s Kraut
American Swiss singles
5 burger buns
mustard
sweet relish
butter (for buns)

STEPS

1) Pre-heat skillet or flat top to medium high heat (surface should be 450º-500ºF).

2) Remove casings from each brat and form each one into a ball.

3) Strain Frank’s Kraut to remove the brine.

4) Butter the buns and toast them on the flat top.

5) Place balls of meat on the flat top with 4-6 inches in between.

6) Grab about 2 oz of Frank’s kraut and place on top of the ball.

7) With a stiff spatula, smash the ball into a patty. The kraut should be in the patty after smashing.

8) Cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip patties and add American Swiss cheese slice on each patty.

9) Cook another 2-3 minutes. Add mustard and relish to bun and build your burger. Enjoy!
