Turn the burner on to medium heat, about number four.

Place bratwurst in a 12-inch cast iron skillet.

Cook bratwurst whole for a few minutes until they firm up.

Use a fork and knife to cut bratwurst into bite-sized pieces in the skillet.

Continue cooking the bratwurst pieces until they are browned on the outside and no longer pink on the inside.

Turn the heat down if necessary to avoid burning.

Once cooked, remove bratwurst from the skillet and place them in a bowl.

Add raw sauerkraut to the skillet with the bratwurst.

Plate the bratwurst and sauerkraut together.

Serve with stone ground mustard.
