1 pkg (19 ounces) johnsonville® beer 'n bratwurst
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1 can(s) (14 ounce) sauerkraut, drained ( i have used barvarian style also )
1/2 c sour cream
1/2 tsp dill weed
1 clove garlic, minced
2 sheet(s) frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 c muenster cheese, shredded
2 Tbsp poppy seeds
1/2 tsp caraway seeds
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Prepare the links according to package instructions. Cool slightly, and then cut into half-moon slices.
3. In a large sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the sausage and sauerkraut heat through.
4. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, garlic, dill and caraway. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spray two baking sheets with non-stick spray. Unfold one sheet of puff pastry on each baking sheet.
5. Spread the sour-cream mixture over each pastry sheet to within 1/2 inch of the edge. Spoon the sausage mixture down the center of each pastry sheet.
6. Top with cheese. Lightly brush the edges with water. Fold the long pastry side of each sheet over the filling and pinch the ends together to seal.
7. With a sharp knife, pierce the strudels to create steam vents. Brush the tops of the strudels with water. Sprinkle with the poppy and sesame seeds. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
