EggcredibleHulk,[p]Oh yea baby! Try this way for Brats:[p]Beer-Brats on a Bun[p]Grill the sausages first, then add them to a beer sauce for a great sandwich.[p]Makes 4 servings[p]Ingredients:[p]1 pound bratwurst
3 tablespoons olive or canola oil
1 large onion, sliced
12 ounces dark German beer
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon coarse German-style mustard
4 Kaiser or other hard rolls[p]Preparation:[p]Grill sausages over medium heat until brown and 3/4 done, turning them occasionally as they brown.[p]In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil. Add the onion, cover the skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently until light brown. [p]Pour in the beer and scrape up any brown bits clinging to the bottom of the pan. Add grilled sausages to the pan, and add the bay leaves.[p]Partially cover and cook over moderate heat for 15 minutes. Stir in the mustard and cook until the liquid has begun to thicken slightly. To serve, split the brats down the middle and place on a roll with the onions and sauce. Pass a pot of hot mustard on the side.

eggor,[p]I usually eat Nathans or Sabretts (sp). I just bought a couple of packs of Nathans cheese filled dogs, and I like them a lot. Not sure about any gourmet preparations. I say light the grill, throw on dogs, after a few minutes, roll them around until done to your liking. If you want to get fancy, I say go with some nice toppings. Maybe some sauerkraut, onions, and chili as options. And definitely cheese. You could also make this an indoor cook and fry up some corn dogs. Yum![p]Later,
Cornfed

Cornfed,[p]corndogs??? i found this recipe i had saved, but it looks like a major pain. Do you have anything easier?[p]1 gallon peanut oil
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons (approximately 1 large) jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced
1 (8.5-ounce) can cream-style corn
1/3 cup finely grated onion
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons cornstarch, for dredging
8 beef hot dogs[p]Special equipment: 8 sets chopsticks, not separated[p]Pour oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot and heat to 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the jalapeno, corn, onion, and buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once, and stir only enough times to bring the batter together; there should be lumps. Set batter aside and allow to rest for 10 minutes. [p]Scatter the cornstarch into a dry pie pan. Roll each hot dog in the cornstarch and tap well to remove any excess. [p]Transfer enough batter to almost fill a large drinking glass. Refill the glass as needed. Place each hot dog on chopsticks, and quickly dip in and out of the batter. Immediately and carefully place each hot dog into the oil, and cook until coating is golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. With tongs, remove to cooling rack, and allow to drain for 3 to 5 minutes.[p]

thirdeye,[p]did you post about a sausage book just a few days ago, i've been scrolling around trying to find the name of the book.[p]Scott

BabyBoomBBQ,[p]thanks...may have to try that before the weekend is up..[p]The Hulk

eggor,[p]Not a few days ago.... but I recommend Great Sausage Recipes & Meat Curing by R. Kutas. Excellent step by step directions & photographs. Try Cabelas or the Sausage Maker. Hot Links & Country Flavors by Aidells and Kelly is great for recipes. Here is a good sausage link too.[p]~thirdeye~
[ul][li]Sausage[/ul]Happy Trails~thirdeye~Barbecue is not rocket surgery -
Cornfed,[p]Try this Sabrett Onions in Sauce clone:[p]1 1/2 tsp olive oil
1 med onion diced
1 cup water
1 tsp cornstarch
1 Tbs corn syrup
2 Tbs tomato paste
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup white vinegar[p]Saute onions in oil until translucent.
Disolve cornstarch in water then stir in corn syrup, tomato paste, salt and pepper flakes.
Bring to a boil then simmer for 20 min.
Add vinegar and simmer 10 more minutes until sauce is thick.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

eggor,[p]If you have a kosher butcher or grocery store, ask for some of their "grillers" or hot dogs with skin. The best! If not, Nathan's beef or Hebrew National are good substitutes. Although I love pork spareribs, I think all-beef hotdogs are the best. As a native New Yorker, the only way to eat them is with Gulden's mustard and warm sauerkraut on a white bun. (Residents of other states may disagree).[p]Barbara

EggcredibleHulk,
Their "Stadium Brats" are great!
-
perhaps a regional thing but our favorite here in the flatlands is Dubuque Old Fashioned Franks. Then what knocks your socks off is adding this homemade chili dog sauce! Yowwwwwssser - does that rock!!!

eggor,
Wife insisted on Hebrew National the other day. Not on our to do list again. Just plain dogs, Plumpers, Wranglers, really like the brats in beer and onions.[p]Mike
-
eggor,
A good way to dress up any dog is to roll them in Obie's Sweet and Heat, then dwell at around 300 for about 15 minutes or so.

I buy "David Berg" Chicago style hot dogs here in Cleveland. They are, without question, the best hot dogs money can buy...
