No Comments | Written on September 3, 2010 at 5:00 am , by Kristina Vanni
I can’t believe the summer is almost over! We started TGIF “Think Grilling It’s Friday” to kick-off summer on Memorial Day weekend and here we are and it is almost Labor Day. Where does the time go?!
I have to tell you that I saved one of the best for last. If you are a fan of brats, this recipe will knock your socks off! Just imagine this for a second… Moist and delicious beer soaked brats on a nice warm bun slathered with a mouth-watering mustard-bacon butter! That’s right, I said MUSTARD-BACON BUTTER. It’s like combining three of the greatest flavors on the planet in one heavenly spread. Give this recipe a try this holiday weekend – you won’t be disappointed!
Grilled Beer Brats with Mustard-Bacon Butter
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
3 slices bacon, cooked crisp, crumbled, and cooled
2 Tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1 bottle (12 ounces) beer of choice
6 uncooked bratwurst
Brat buns
1. In a small bowl, stir together the softened butter, cooked bacon, and mustard. Mix well; set aside while preparing brats.
2. Pour beer into a large skillet; add brats and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, turning brats after 10 minutes. Remove brats from beer; discard beer.
3. Grill brats over direct medium-high heat until brats are cooked through and nicely browned, turning often. Warm buns on grill.
4. To serve, spread some mustard butter on insides of buns; place brat in warm bun and serve. Makes 6 incredible brats! These are great served with a side dish of potato salad.
