Beef Brats Recipe & Plated Shot

[chewmeister]

I know what you mean about the Jville brats and the fat content. I think they push the limits on that. I like the flavor, but yeah they are fatty. My recipe is similar in taste, but mine don't shrink like those do.

Nice brats Richie..I thought bratwurst were made from mostly pork? Had some really good ones while stationed in Germany. Tried to make them at home, can't even come close, use the premix and some other recipes I found online.  Still searching.

Richie, not sure how I keep missing all these great threads of yours ! I've not tried brats with beef yet, but looks like I need to try it ! They look phenomenal. Thanks for posting a great thread ! Thumbs Up

I keep trying to avoid pulling the trigger on a grinder and stuffer. With all these amazing brats and sausage threads, it's getting harder and harder not too. 

We have a couple of local butchers that make some of the best brats I've eaten. Problem is, they're just so expensive that I could recoup the cost of a grinder and stuffer pretty quickly.

They look yummy!!!

Have you had the chance to toss some onto the grill?

I couldn't agree with ya more Richie, J-ville sausages leave a lot too be desired. We got some on sale bout a year ago & they are too fatty for us. After starting to make our own, we won't be buying anymore brats ! They are just too good when ya make em yourself ! Next brat run, we will be trying the beef... Thanks again !

Having little to no patience, I would have been out in the rain grillin' the first batch.

Can you actually mix pink salt #1 into the meat? I have already made one mistake with pink salt #1 by boiling it with my spices for a ham brine. I want to be safe and sure befor I try anything else. I have read that it can make you sick or even kill you if used incorrectly????
Randy,

Randy,

Randy Rest assured it is safe.My recipes are modified on spices and salt.Cure #1 is used in all my sausages except fresh Kielbasi and Italian.
