Sauerkraut gives these beer-simmered brats a big flavor boost, but it's the special chili sauce and melted cheese that put them over the top. Top your favorite burger with some of the chili sauce; you won't be sorry. -Alana Simmons, Johnstown, Pennsylvania

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Three 12-ounce bottles hard apple cider
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 large onion, sliced
10 spicy bratwurst
2 cups sauerkraut, thoroughly drained
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
18,000 Island Dressing, recipe follows
10 New England-style split-top buns, buttered and griddled on the outside
Swiss Cheese Sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup sliced chives, for garnish
Thinly sliced Fresno chile peppers, for garnish, optional
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons sliced pickled jalapenos
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
4 ounces Swiss cheese, freshly grated
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 ounces white American cheese, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat on one side and low heat on the other side.
  • Prepare the brat hot tub: In a 12-by-10-inch aluminum roasting pan, combine the hard cider, butter and onions. Place on the hot side of the grill.
  • Grill the brats on the cool side of the grill with the lid closed until the internal temperature of the brats reaches 160 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes per side. Transfer the brats to the brat hot tub, close the grill and simmer for 10 to 15 more minutes.
  • Put the sauerkraut and caraway seeds in a small flameproof skillet and place directly on the grill until just warmed through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add 1 cup of the 18,000 Island Dressing and toss to combine.
  • For assembly: Nestle a bratwurst and a couple slices of the braised onions into each bun. Smother in warm Swiss Cheese Sauce, then top with some of the kraut mixture. Garnish with sliced chives and thin slices of Fresno pepper if using.
  • In a food processor, add the mayonnaise, ketchup, jalapenos, Dijon, garlic and some salt. Puree, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • Set a medium saucepan over low heat and add the evaporated milk. Toss the Swiss cheese and cornstarch together in a bowl until totally coated. Whisk the Swiss and American cheese into the saucepan and heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is completely melted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

SHEBOYGAN GRILLED BRATS



Sheboygan Grilled Brats image

Growing up on a lake in the Sheboygan area, this was a standard way that the German folks would grill their brats. We always served them on the old-fashioned hard rolls. By finishing them in the beer sauce they just get better and better. Though it's expensive, on special occasions I use a dark beer which is not German at all: Guinness Irish Stout. Around our house, we eat them with ketchup and mustard, and the cooked onions from the brat sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality bratwursts: Look for bratwursts made with fresh, high-quality meat and spices. Avoid bratwursts that are overly processed or contain artificial ingredients.
  • Grill the bratwursts over medium heat: This will help to prevent the brats from burning or drying out. Cook the bratwursts for 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The classic Reuben sandwich toppings are sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing. However, you can also get creative with your toppings. Some other popular options include caramelized onions, bacon, and horseradish sauce.
  • Serve the bratwursts on a sturdy bun: A bratwurst is a hearty sandwich, so you need a bun that can hold up to it. A kaiser roll or a hoagie bun are both good options.

Conclusion:

Grilled Reuben brats are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is sure to please everyone. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
