Oktoberfest Sausage Dinner

By | Bratwurst | No Comments

Oktoberfest Sausage Dinner

Ingredients:

1 to 2 packages of Boulder Sausage Bratwurst
2 teaspoons butter
1 medium onion cut into wedges
32 ounces sauerkraut
1 cup apple juice
2 medium apples seeded and cut into wedges
6 each red skinned potatoes peeled and cut in half
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
parsley leaves

Directions:

1. Cook bratwurst in frying pan, on medium heat, with a tablespoon of olive oil.
– Alternatively: You can cook the sausage by boiling it in beer. This will give it a stronger beer flavor, however, it will reduce the natural flavor from the spices in the sausage. We never recommend boiling it in water, as this will leave the sausage flavorless.   
2. Brown sausage in butter in a frying pan then move to a 2 quart casserole dish.
3. Top with the onion, sauerkraut (using half of the liquid), apples, potatoes. Add the apple juice and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Bake in a casserole dish at 350℉  for 45 minutes to 1 hour until potatoes are tender.
5. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve.

By | Bratwurst | No Comments

Brat Stuffed German Potato Dumplings 

1/2 a package of Boulder Sausage Bratwurst , cooked, cut into 1-2 inch slices
3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
½ cup flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
1 egg, beaten
tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped chives, for garnish
horseradish mustard or spicy brown mustard, for serving

Directions:

  • Boil the potatoes for 30 to 45 minutes, or until they are fork tender. Drain the potatoes and mash them until they are completely smooth.
  • Place the mashed potato in a large bowl. Add the flour, cornstarch, salt, nutmeg and egg. Mix until combined.
  • Shape ¼ cup of the mixture into a patty in the palm of your hand. Place 1 slice of the bratwurst into center of the patty and shape the potato around the sausage, forming a tight ball. Repeat this with all the ingredients. You should have roughly 15 balls.
  • Bring 6 quarts of water to a simmer in a large stockpot. Place half of the potato dough balls into the water and simmer for 10 minutes. The dough balls will float to the surface when they are close to being done. Remove the dumplings from the water and let them rest on a plate while you simmer the second batch.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a large sauté pan. Sauté the potato dumplings for 5 minutes to brown lightly on all sides. Garnish with chopped chives and serve warm with horseradish mustard

1 cup water
1 tablespoon white vinegar

By | Bratwurst, Recipes | No Comments

Coloradan Joe says this about our BOULDER SAUSAGE brand Bratwursts: “The guys and I love having these when it gets warmer and we can go out and grill. That weather is sketchy now but don’t worry, I stocked up already on all the brats I need for the summer! Everyone treats it as BYOB – Bring Your Own Brats – and we share, but everyone loves the BOULDER SAUSAGE brand Bratwursts the most. They have a juicy, tender flavor that explodes with each bite. Our favorite thing to do is cook them in beer with sauerkraut. I am no ‘recipe’ guy but I wrote this up pretty easily. Dang, now I am so hungry I will be firing up the grill in the snow to eat some tonight!”
