I just had the greatest bratwursts ever

I got the recipe off of here, but now I can't remember who posted it. To whoever it is, I am eternally grateful. :yourock:

edited for spelling

edited again you can't make fun of me now :cry:

But they told me I can't eat little children anymore.:D

did I mention I had a couple of beers with that? :)

*shluuuurrrrrp-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p*

You mean brats?

And they can only be brats if they're from Wisconsin. Were they?

How's you cook 'em?

Yeah, they were from Wisconsin. Who makes the best Bratwurst, folks?

like I said I got it from here.

Stadium Brats
4-5 Johnsonville (or acceptable alternative) Bratwurst sausages.
12oz Beer (I use Molson Golden)
1 cup water
2-3 drops of vegetable oil
1 Yellow onion
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Hoagie/Grinder rolls (sized to the brats after-cooking size)


Put Brats in 5 gallon pot

Pour beer in pot over Brats, adding water so Brats are covered by 1 inch of liquid. Add drops of vegetable oil to prevent boil over. Put slits or punctures in Brats to absorb flavor and prevent sausage explosion.

Peel and cut onion in half. Dice both halves, adding one half of onion to pot for flavor.

Boil Brats for 3 minutes in a rapid boil, then lower heat and simmer brats for 20-25 minutes.

Fire up outside grill and pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees.

While this is happening add diced onions to cheddar cheese in a Ziploc and shake to mix.

Grill Brats outside on grill until they are adequately browned.

Hinge cut hoagie/grinder rolls and smear liberally with spicy mustard (I use Gulden's).

After Brats are grilled, use grill tongs to put Brats in rolls, and sprinkle Onion/onion mix to taste on top of Brats in rolls.

Put in oven on cookie sheet for 3-5 minutes, keeping close watch until cheese is melted on top of Brat subs.

Allow to cool, crack open another beer and enjoy!

never tried that.

I also like brats split in half after done cooking them, then place the two halves flat on top of a hamburger patty, with some onion and mustard and etc., and put 'em in a bun. Yummy! It has a special name, and I can't remember what it is.

Really like the oven idea.

the cheese and onion melt on top is what made it great.

Don't forget the sauerkraut!

yum. makes me miss the midwest.....
