We still had a lot left -- and I used an 18 oz pack of bratwurst. So I will always halve the sauce in this recipe, even if I cut the brat into slices.

Excellent. I made it exactly as written. We were concerned about the amount of curry and spices, but wanted to give it a try as written and found it absolutely delicious. I did find that I had a lot of sauce for just 1 pound of bratwurst, even after letting it simmer for 10 minutes. I will cut the sauce in half in the future or use 2 pounds of bratwurst.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-08-25","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"demandy"},"reviewBody":"This was edible but not good at all.
