Mike's Chicago Dogs & Beer Brats Mike's Chicago Dogs & Beer Brats
Please forgive the overly detailed directions on such a simple grilled dish. This evening, my 7 year old culinary students were charged with not only creating and grilling their own dishes - but writing down their own instructions and taking their own photos. Also, detailing them for other cooks online. I thought Cookpad was a great medium for them. I really do appreciate your time and patience with this easy to follow recipe fellow Cookpad Chefs. Thanks! ;0) Excelent work lads and lassies! -

Homemade German Bratwurst Homemade German Bratwurst
This is a classic German Bratwurst sausage. I compared recipes from numerous websites and developed this version. I sampled some by frying what was left in the grinder auger. I made a sausage sandwich with yellow mustard. The taste was superb!

Slow Cooker Bratwurst and Cabbage Slow Cooker Bratwurst and Cabbage
My wife is half German, so every late September to early October we celebrate Oktoberfest. We have made several dishes, such as German meatballs.This year, I wanted to use the slow cooker to mix cabbage and bratwurst. This is what was born from trial and error. Not that the errors were terrible, but not what I wanted.All of the ingredients blended together is simply amazing. Even better than I expected.#mycookbookEnjoy!

Brad's homemade apple & beer bratwurst Brad's homemade apple & beer bratwurst
This is also something that I would do all the time when I raised pigs. I buy pre mixed seasoning packs from a company called Excalibur. These are easily found online from their distributor at Waltons. I have both hand seasoned, and used these in the past. In my opinion, these packs are the way to go. They come with everything you need. These are a quality product, and this helps get a consistent product every time. The seasoning packs are for 25 lbs of meat. I try for a 70/30 ratio of meat to fat. If you prefer to not use beer, substitute with the same amount of ice cold water.

California Farm Bratwurst with gravy California Farm Bratwurst with gravy
No expensive equipment needed if you have a food processor or sharp hatchet. Whole pork shoulder is the perfect blend of lean, marbled and fresh bacon meat for bratwurst. The natural sausage casing is from Amazon, the hand sausage stuffer is a few dollars, the flavor is out of this world, you make a big sausage for $1.10. Dont forget to add 1 Tbs of buckwheat flour as a preservative. The pork shoulder bone makes excellent bean, lentil, pea soup. The gravy is to die for. This is our family recipe.
