Description

Brats are a definite tailgate classic, but this chow chow really makes them something special.

My inspiration was to combine many of the condiments that one might ordinarily put on a brat and add a few twists to make something unique.

Ingredients

  • 18 whole Brats
  • 18 whole Buns
  • 5 cups Funky Chow Chow (below)
  • FOR THE CHOW CHOW:
  • 3 cups Sauerkraut, Undrained (not From A Can, Please)
  • 2 cups Yellow Onions, Diced Small
  • ¾ cups Sweet Pickle Relish
  • 2 Tablespoons Yellow Mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Granulated Garlic (not Garlic "powder")
  • 1 teaspoon Celery Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Smoked Paprika
  • ⅛ teaspoons Ground Cayenne (optional)

Preparation

Combine all of the chow chow ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, mix well, cover and refrigerate at least two hours, preferably overnight.

Start your grill and prepare for two-zone cooking (indirect and direct) at medium heat (350-375ºF).

Grill the brats direct until they’re nicely browned.

Move the brats to the indirect side of the grill and continue cooking until they reach an internal temperature of 165ºF.

While the sausages finish cooking, warm the buns.

Nestle a brat in a bun and load it up with chow chow.

Dive in and enjoy!

I think that Chow Chow would be pretty good on dried beans, too!

This was so, so, so good; we ate it on anything we could. I caught family members sneaking bites from the bowl, yes this is THAT good!

I made the exact recipe and really wanted to like it, but just didn’t. The pickle relish and the celery seasoning didn’t work for me. The WI girl in me says brats are meant to only be served with sauerkraut and/or onions and mustard.
