        BBQ Bratwurst ... from Skrzypczak. He was sweet enough to send me a lot of my brat recipes. I send him my blessings!
        Bake in BBQ sauce.
        Easy but really good!


        BLT Spread ... Great to leave for the baby sitter to spread on toast for the kids, or to use as a dip.
        1/2 C. sour cream
        1/2 C. mayonnaise or salad dressing
        1/2 lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled
        1 small tomato, diced
        Toast, crackers or fresh veggies for dipping
        In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise and bacon; mix well. Stir in tomato. Serve or refrigerate until serving.


        Brat & Kraut ... My mother-in-law dropped off some Bratwurst. I had no idea what to do with it. I made a request to 1_Comfort_Foods E-mail list. Now we have some great Bratwurst recipes and have come to enjoy it a lot!
        4 Bratwurst, pricked all over and soak in beer over night
        2 qt.. Sauerkraut
        water, to cover Kraut
        lump of brown sugar (lump is a large pinch)
        First the kraut must be drained and rinsed to remove all of the brine. Squeeze out all excess moisture in the kraut . Then put it in fresh water. Prick the brats with a fork so they wont explode. Place in the same dutch oven with the kraut. Simmer bratwurst with sauerkraut for 3 hours. Before serving drain the kraut and add a lump of brown sugar. This wont make the kraut sweet, it will simply give a delicious flavor
