Cooking Beer Bratwursts

I love these Beer Bratwursts or Beer Brats!  Seriously, this is something that is welcome at my barbecue any day of the week!  They’re fun and delicious, so I never get any complaints.  The Bratwursts themselves are first boiled in beer before they are taken to the grill, and then I make the cheese sauce out of the leftover Beer from the boil.  The Sauerkraut is the Bavarian Style of making Kraut and it tops these Brats off perfectly.  So you’re looking at a Beer Brat that has been boiled in beer, grilled, then topped off with a Beer Cheese sauce and Sauerkraut.  Doesn’t that look Delicious!

And just so you know, I make the world’s best Onion Rings and Sweet Potato fries and I’ve got the links and recipes below!

Meatballs

MeatballsDelicious Meatballs!

These Meatballs are absolutely without a doubt off the hook.  I wondered off into unknown territory, combining the idea of Chinese sauces with Italian Seasonings and it worked Beautifully.  I originally filmed this with my Spaghetti Recipe, but, I realized that this recipe really needed to stand alone because Meatballs are good in so many different recipes.  Although the list of ingredients seems at first glance a bit ridiculous, every single  ingredient serves a purpose.  I hope you try these Meatballs soon!

MEATBALLS Ingredients:

2 lbs Ground Beef
1 lbs Ground Sausage
2 eggs
1 chopped Onion
