Ingredients
- 6 bratwursts
- 6 hot dog buns split
- 6 tablespoons german mustard
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
Instructions
- Preheat your grill. Oil the grates of your grill and then bring the temperature to 350°F so it gets nice and hot.
- Grill the bratwurst. Place the brats on the grill and cook for 15-18 minutes while turning them from time to time so that cook evenly on all sides. When the grilled bratwurst is done, it should have reached an internal temperature of 150°F-155°F.
- Grill the buns. Just a few minutes before the grilled brats are done, place the buns, cut side down on the grill, and warm them for about 30 seconds.
- Build the brats. Remove the sausages and buns from the grill. Then place a grilled bratwurst in a bun and top with your favorite mustard and sauerkraut.

Notes
- Oil the sausage. Very lightly oil your brats with some olive oil or vegetable oil before placing them on the grill. Doing this will help to keep them from sticking to the grill, but even better yet, it will create an even more crispy delicious out crust on the sausages.
- Temp your sausage. To ensure that the grilled brats are fully cooked, you will want to use an instant-read digital meat thermometer to make sure that the internal temperature reaches at least 150℉.
- Lower the heat to avoid overcooking. If the brats are crispy and charred enough but not quite cooked through you want to lower the heat on your grill or move them to a cooler side to finish cooking them. This way they get fully cooked but don’t get burnt.
- You can store leftover grilled bratwurst in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months!
