1
package Betty Crocker™ Suddenly Salad® classic pasta salad mix

Preparation
Place bratwurst in single layer in square microwavable dish, 8x8x2 inches. Cover with plastic wrap, folding back one corner to vent. Microwave on High 5 minutes. Turn over and rearrange bratwurst; re-cover and microwave on Medium-High (70%) 3 to 4 minutes or until bratwurst are no longer pink in center.
Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Grill bratwurst uncovered 4 to 5 inches from medium heat 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides. Grill bell pepper 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until skin is blistered. Refrigerate bratwurst and bell pepper.
Empty Pasta mix into 3-suart saucepan 2/3 full of boiling water. Gently boil uncovered 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. While pasta is cooking, continue with step 4.
Stir Seasoning mix, brown sugar, soy sauce and reserved pineapple juice in large bowl; set aside.
Drain pasta; rinse with cold water. Shake to drain well.
Cut bratwurst into 1/2-inch slices. Cut bell pepper strips into 1-inch pieces. Stir pasta, bratwurst, bell pepper and pineapple into seasoning mixture. Just before serving, toss with Topping. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
