Grilled Brats, Sheboygan Style
"I have never been to Sheboygan, Wisconsin but I am told it is refered to as the "Wurst City in the World". Bratwurst was brought to America by German immigrants. There is disagreement even among Wisconsinites re: the "only" way to cook brats. Here is one way that my husband tried out on us. I loved it and decided to post this recipe."

This is the perfect method for cooking brats, from a born and bred Wisconsinite! The only way we cook them! We don't butter our rolls however.....the brats offer enough fat as they are! You will never be disappointed with a dry bratwurst if you use this method!
