Wisconsin Style Brats Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Prick bratwurst with fork to prevent them from exploding as they cook. Place in a large stock pot with the onions, butter, and beer. Place pot over medium heat, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil grate. Cook bratwurst on preheated grill for 10 to 14 minutes, turning occasionally to brown evenly. Serve hot off the grill with onions on hoagie rolls.

Steps:

• Set up a grill for direct cooking over high heat. Melt the butter in a large skillet on the grill or side burner. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the beer and cover; cook about 10 more minutes. Uncover the skillet and simmer until most of the beer has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium and oil the grates. Grill the brats on the grates 4 to 5 minutes per side. Lightly toast the rolls on the grill. Serve the hot brats on the rolls, smothered with the onions and topped with mustard.

Steps:

• 1. Measure out spices into a small bowl and add to meat as you grind. Cut the pork into small pieces and put through a coarse grind cutting in fat/lard as you grind.
• 2. Once the meat has been ground and all the spices have been added slowly add the beer a 1/4 cup at a time mixing well as you go. Divide into 1/4 pound patties and separate using plastic wrap or wax paper so that you can freeze and take out patties as you want to use them.
• 3. This recipe is really best allowed to age at least overnight in the refrigerator if you plan to use right away. Vacuumed sealed it will keep in your freezer up to a year. The patties can be grilled or fried.

Steps:

• Using a flat-top griddle, grill or frypan, --
• Cook the burger pattie so that it's still a bit "pink" inside & top with the cheddar cheese slice.
• Cook the bratwurst pattie completely through & top with the monterey jack slice.
• Stack both patties on the toasted bun & top with the lettuce, tomato & onion slice.
• Top with your favorite condiments -- I prefer just ketchup & mayo.
• REMEMBER: "The messier the burger, the better it is" -- ENJOY!

Steps:

• Bring to boil: one 12 ounce can of beer, 1/8 lb. margarine and one large onion cut up in chunks.
• Add the meat then to keep it warm. If you have cold meat, you can simmer it in this to warm it up again.
