Oktoberfest Bratwurst

4 Farmington Bratwurst (Beer, Cheddar, or Original)

4 Grissom’s Hot Dog Buns

6 strips/1 cup Farmington Applewood Smoked Bacon, diced

To taste Kurtz Spicy Brown Mustard

1 cup Pickwell Farms Sauerkraut

1 tbsp Coburn Farms Butter

1 White or Yellow Onion, diced

2 Granny Smith Apples, peeled and finely chopped

Preheat grill to a medium-high heat. Scrape grates clean, and use oil or spray to ensure bratwurst do not stick .

In large pot add onions, bacon, apples and 1 tbsp of butter. Cook 5 minutes or until bacon browns.

Drain pot and strain the liquid. Place the bacon/onion/apple mixture in a bowl and set aside.

In the same pot add brats and water. See tip below for adults 21+.

Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes, then let rest for 5 minutes before grilling.

Once dry, grill brats for 3-4 minutes on each side to develop grill marks and a nice snap.

Toast buns on grill 1-2 minutes.

Assemble by placing bratrust on a toasted bun and topping with sauerkraut, bacon/onion/apple mixture and spicy brown mustard.
