We do our brats similar to yours, but we grill them first, then put them in an aluminum pan filled with beer, butter and sliced onions. We let them simmer over the grill for awhile. Yum!

ella’s mom- That is AWESOME! I am so glad that your family is enjoying the recipes. I am actually testing another one as we speak so hopefully I will have another one to add next week. I really appreciate the feedback and I hope I can help keep adding some variety to your dinner table!!

I just wanted to let you know last week we tried your spaghetti and meatballs and then used the leftovers for meatball sandwiches ( I even tried your recipe for the buns) and it was great! I will definitely make it again. That was my daughters first spaghetti experience and she ate 3 meatballs and noodles. Last night we tried your sloppy joe recipe and loved that also. We won’t ever buy that canned stuff again! Thanks for all your recipes. My husband is so excited about what I will find on your site for next week.

Oh, these recipes all sound so good! Thanks for the ideas.

Jenn- I am definitely going to try that next time. i also thought those brats would taste delicious cooked in marinara sauce and topping them with a little sauce and cheese. Yum!!

Ok, totally not the comment you wanted, but – in quickly scanning the titles on Google reader, I read the last word as brat with a short a, not braht. Had to do a double take.

We go even one step easier on those brats-we just throw them in the crockpot with onion and green pepper, cover with beer and let it cook all afternoon. It’s a great dinner when you don’t want to cook-we’ve actually used it as a camper and tailgating type meal.

We grilled last night and I made potatoes on the grill that were absolutely delish. Wash & dry potatoes; slice thin. Layer potatoes, red onion, pepper and season salt and dot with butter on aluminum foil that is large enough you can fold it up in a rectangle pack. Place on grill for about 30 minutes. (I did 4 potatoes and used 2 foil packs.) I also made a saute of zucchini, chopped onion and mushrooms on the stove but it too could easily be grilled in a foil packet. We do a lot of kabobs in the summer. Anything on a skewer tastes yummy! And I love the fact that we can eat great tasting food without heating up the kitchen.

My absolute favorite is to take boneless chicken breasts and cut them into chunks and marinate them in Italian dressing or honey mustard dressing and make kabobs with them along with fresh veggies that I have cut up and marinated in some of the dressing- I use mushrooms, onions, yellow squash and red peppers.

I also love to take fresh potatoes and peel them, cut them into thin slices and place them on aluminum foil sheets that I have dotted with butter and salt the potatoes and fresh pepper and then top with another dot of butter and fold the aluminum foil around them to make pouches and grill them- I add onions to my potatoes as well. Yum!
