GRILLED BRATS, SHEBOYGAN STYLE



Grilled Brats, Sheboygan Style image

I have never been to Sheboygan, Wisconsin but I am told it is refered to as the "Wurst City in the World". Bratwurst was brought to America by German immigrants. There is disagreement even among Wisconsinites re: the "only" way to cook brats. Here is one way that my husband tried out on us. I loved it and decided to post this recipe.

German mustard (or whatever mustard you prefer) or dijon-style mustard (or whatever mustard you prefer)
chopped fresh onion
pickle, sliced
sauerkraut (optional)

Steps:

MAKE AHEAD GRILLED BRATS AND BEER WISCONSIN STYLE

These are great to make ahead for cookouts or tailgating. Especially if you need the grill for other foods. They can be reheated in a foil pan on the grill, in the oven or in a crock pot. They can be made a day ahead, the morning of, or served right away. You need fresh bratwurst for this, not the smoked or white colored sausage. We've already made 100 of these ahead for large groups.
