Cooking for 10 people

Ingredients

  • 10 fresh bratwurst sausages
  • 10 small hamburger buns or large slider buns
  • 4 cup green cabbage finely shredded
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced

Slaw Seasoning

  • 0.5 cup yellow mustard
  • 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 0.25 cup beer
  • 0.25 cup ketchup
  • 0.25 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp. hot sauce
  • 0.5 tsp. garlic salt
  • 0.25 tsp. cayenne pepper

1 Food Prep

In a large bowl, add the cabbage together with the onion and bell pepper.

Then, in a small saucepan, combine your slaw seasoning ingredients.

Over a medium heat, bring the mixture just to a boil. Pour the sauce over the cabbage and toss until well coated. Chill covered for at least 4 hours, overnight is best.

Just before grilling, remove the bratwurst from its casings and form small patties.

2 Grill Prep

Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets

Method: Direct-Heat Grilling

Temp: 400°F (Medium Heat)

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • Place your patties on the grate and cook them for 3 to 5 minutes per side until an internal temperature of 160°F is reached.

  • Lightly toast your buns by placing them over direct heat with the grill lid open. Cook them for 30 seconds or until the face is light brown and toasted.

  • Top each of your toasted buns with a burger and slaw then serve.
