    Prick bratwursts with fork. Open the beer and pour into

    Title: Brat Burgers - UDD
    Categories: Pork, Herbs, Vegetables, Condiments, Breads
    Yield: 6 Servings

    MMMMM------------------------BRAT PATTIES-----------------------------
    2 lb Ground pork
    1 tb Kosher salt
    1 ts Sugar
    1 ts Grated nutmeg
    3/4 ts Ground black pepper
    1/2 ts Dried ground ginger
    1/4 ts Coriander
    1/4 ts Celery seed
    1/4 ts Ground marjoram
    1/4 ts Dried ground sage

    MMMMM------------------------BRAT BURGERS-----------------------------
    6 Pretzel buns; or other
    - burger buns
    Sauerkraut; from a bag, not
    - from a can - UDD
    Red onion; sliced
    Ketchup; optional
    Coarse ground brown mustard

    BRAT PATTIES: Combine ground pork with all brat patty
    seasonings.

    Optional but recommended: Let rest overnight if possible
    to allow flavors to meld.

    Form into 1/3 pound patties, or size of your choice.

    Tip: Use a digital scale for consistency and press the
    patties flat with a plate bottom and wax paper to
    prevent sticking.

    Cook burgers on medium heat to create an exterior crust
    on the burger while giving time for the interior to come
    to temperature.

    Cook until the brat burger patty reaches 160 degrees,
    flipping once during cooking. Approximately 7 minutes,
    depending on patty thickness.

    UDD NOTE: I only make these if Humphrey's is out of
    their bratwurst patties and I have to make my own or
    use Johnsonville (a poor substitute)

    BRAT BURGER: Toast buns while patties are cooking.

    Place brat burger on bun and top with onions,
    sauerkraut, and condiments.

    UDD SUGGESTION: Fry an egg using your egg ring as for
    an Egg McMuffin. Add it with a slice of yellow cheese
    to your brat burger.
