Y’all remember when I shared with y’all my Game Day Grilling Tips and then my recipe for Garlic Burgers with Caramelized Chipotle Onions?
Today, I have another delicious recipe for y’all – courtesy of my Game Day Grillin’ Party sponsored by Bush’s Beans
Jalapeno Stuffed, Bacon Wrapped Grilled Brats
These delicious brats were grilled to perfection and the addition of the crisp smoky bacon and the sizzling heat of the jalapenos – oh my goodness these were good!
The crisp smokiness and heat were delicious when paired with the slightly savory and sweet Bush’s Onion Baked Beans
Brown sugar, specially cured bacon and a delicate blend of spices are slow cooked with onions to create our Onion Baked Beans.
I took one 8 pack of traditional brats and cut 3 or 4 slits into each one, into each slit I stuffed a thin slice of fresh jalapeno
Then, I wrapped each one with a thick slice of hickory smoked bacon – inserted a presoaked wooden skewer to anchor the bacon and allow for easy placement onto and removal from the grill
We grilled the brats until the bacon was crisp and both the brats and the bacon began to develop a nicely blackened crust
These were absolutely delicious, gobbled up quickly and I may have seen more than one of the guys swirling their bratwurst in the bean sauce on their plates (but shhhhh you didn’t hear that from me!)
The next time that I make these brats, and there will be a next time, I’m going to drizzle them with mango chutney as soon as they come off the grill. This will intensify the flavors and really highlight the smoke and heat.
Delicious bratwursts enhanced by jalapenos and bacon. I suggest drizzling them with mango chutney sauce immediately upon removing them from the grill.
Ingredients
- Package of Traditional Bratwursts (pre-cooked works best)
- 1 package thick bacon
- 2 jalapenos
- package of skewers, I prefer wood
Instructions
- 30 minutes before you are going to cook the brats, soak the skewers in a water bath
- Thinly slice your jalapenos, remove the seeds - if necessary
- Cut a few slits into each bratwurst and into each slit insert a slice of jalapeno
- Wrap the brats in bacon, slide the skewer through the bratwurst anchoring the bacon
- Grill over indirect heat to ensure that they're heated all the way through then crisp the bacon and brats over direct heat for that gorgeous, delicious, crispy char that makes these a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth.
- The bratwurst should reach a core temperature of 160F as read by a meat thermometer
I want to say congratulation Kristine, of Wait In The Van, she was the Grand Prize Winner of the Bush’s Game Day Grillin’ Goodies, and to thank Bush’s Beans for sponsoring all this deliciousness!
