Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 bratwursts
- 6 buns hot dog or bratwurst buns
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-low (300°F) in 2 zones.
- Put bratwurst on indirect side and grill for 8 minutes. Turn and grill for 8 additional minutes. Internal temperature should reach 155°F.
- Transfer bratwursts to direct heat and grill 1 minute.
- Add buns and top with desired toppings.
Notes
- Warm your buns for a minute on a pan on the grill, or in the microwave.
- If you’d like to make your bratwust ahead of time, let them simmer in a sheet pan with a little beer and onions. It keeps them warm and moist!
Toppings
- While grilling your bratwurst, open your bun and add Brie to both sides. Put the buns on the grill with cover for a minute or so to allow the Brie to slightly melt.
- Add diced Granny Smith apples to the melted cheese, then place your brat and top with mustard.
- BBQ Sauce
- Raw, Sautéed or Caramelized Onions
- Spicy Mustard
- Jalapeños
- Brie
- Cheddar
- Granny Smith Apples

Storage Notes
Do not leave out at room temperature for more than 2 hours while serving. Leftover bratwurst can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When stored in a freezer, pre-cooked sausage can last up to 2 months. Also consider the use-by date on the food packaging as well.Nutrition
