Ingredients
* 1 lb Maplewood Meats Jalapeño & Cheese Bratwurst
* 2 bell peppers (red, orange, or yellow), sliced
* 1 large sweet onion, sliced
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 tbsp butter
* 1 tbsp honey

Directions
1. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat with the olive oil.

4. Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder, honey, and lime juice. Cook for another minute.
5. Return the sliced bratwurst to the skillet and toss everything together for 2–3 minutes.
