Big John Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hillshire are not good. Johnsonville or Klements are a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Neutron Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I buy brats made by my butcher or a local market that makes some unique, but tasty versions. Fresh is always better, IMO. My folks live and die by Johnsonville - they are OK, but need more dressing than the really good brats. I like jalepeno pork the best. :homerdrool: The market I mentioned makes one with chicken and garlic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrobn26 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 brat=gray tasteless hotdog You must have the same ones that Mrs. RR bought by mistake when Sky was here! Hillshire!! Sky said he wasn't crazy about brats but he'd eat them and I'm sure that we convinced him to never try them again. Johnsonville are very good, but there's nothing like a good butcher making them fresh. Problem is there are no good butchers near me.

Gonkis Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Willi's Sausages This was my local butcher growing up. Ruined me for anything store bought. Damn, I'm hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 i've had better, but johnsonvilles hold up pretty solidly, and of course you can get them EVERYWHERE. never a very bad choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Cid Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Or steamed with beer and then grilled Grill 'em first. Get a pan fill with onion and peppers and beer. throw the grilled brats in. cover and cook over indirect medium heat for 25 minutes. Heaven on a bun.

twiley Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Or steamed with beer and then grilled Yeah, I'll cook them in a dark ale with sliced onions, crushed garlic, mustard seed, celery seed, and crushed red pepper flakes for about 30 mins then I'll put them on a hot grill to get a nice sear. Afterwards I'll strain the pot and toss in a little olive oil and make a relish out of the onions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterwards I'll strain the pot and toss in a little olive oil and make a relish out of the onions. Good info here. Although I usually prefer raw chopped onions and a spicy brown mustard on mine. And never a hot dog bun. Large, fresh hogie roll for me. :drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncosn05 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Johnsonville are a lot better. Agreed. brat=gray tasteless hotdog Wrong. Brats are much better than hotdogs. The only thing I find bad about Brats is that you can't eat them over and over again. Otherwise you get sick of um. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice... I think I forgot to add that I put a few bay leaves in there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
