Grilled Bratwurst with Homemade Kale Barbecue Slaw ~ NEW 31 Days of Grilling Recipes

Oh yummy, yummy!

See that pile of homemade kale slaw…it ended up on top of my brat. And holy flavor explosion. Oh yummy, yummy!

My boys are not big ‘lettuce or slaw’ eaters, but that is A-OK with me. That means more for me…and this kale slaw was better as leftovers as it soaked in the tangy-creamy dressing overnight! (But still fabulous on the brat!)

Add this to your menu soon! Like for tomorrow!

Ingredients

1 package bratwurst (about 5 links)

Directions

In a saucepan, combine the water, bratwurst, and onion slices. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Internal temperature should reach at least 165 degrees.

While the brats are simmering prepare the slaw. Combine all remaining ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Refrigerate until brats are completed.

Transfer brats to a hot grill to add some smoky flavor. Turn after 3 – 4 minutes to brown on both sides.

Serve immediately.
