Nothing says summer like grilling outside with your family, friends, and neighbors. And our Grilled Brats are guaranteed to liven up your next grilling even with friends and family!

I love grilled brats with just a little deli mustard, but I also like to have fun with my food. So I came up with three different ways to serve up these delicious grilled bratwurst.

Gather the ingredients needed to make our Grilled Brats recipe. Culinary professionals call this the Mise en Place, which means “Everything in its Place.”
Setting up your ingredients not only helps speed up the cooking process but also helps ensure you have all of the ingredients on hand to make the recipe.
I had a hard time deciding which style of Brat to use. They have a brat for every occasion. Since I was going to make some fun flavors with my brats, I decided to get the Original Bratwurst.
Let’s start off with a Breakfast Brat. Hickory smoked bacon and a fried egg.
Then it’s time to spice things up a bit with my version of a buffalo blue cheese brat.
Last but not least I created a Baltimore Brat, by topping a Johnsonville Brat with sautéed shrimp seasoned with old bay.
But any way you serve them you can bet your friends and family are going to love these Brats!

I love the idea of a breakfast brat. Everything goes better with bacon and the brat with shrimp is one of those “now why didn’t I think of that” moments.

Thanks Bob! I have to admit that the shrimp surprised me when I thought of it, but it really did go well with the Brat!
