Gettin' It Poppin': Dub Shack BBQ Presents Bratwurst Poppers

Matt Pittman of Meat Church BBQ fame made some two days ago.

Kosmo wrapped his in bacon yesterday. 

Your friendly pitmaster is making game day fun again - and during county fair week, at that.

What are we eating? Bratwurst poppers.
No matter how they are prepared, these joints will be some good snacking at the tailgate. 

INGREDIENTS 
Bratwursts
Cream cheese, preferably whipped
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Your favorite rub of choice

STEP ONE. Using a sharp knife, open the brats only piercing the skin to flatten them for even cooking. These poppers are going to be stuffed; giving them a boat for the cheese mixture to melt. Don't hollow out the meat only open the links.
STEP TWO. To ensure that they indeed are poppin', make several - and set your grills to 300 degrees. Once the lucky vessel reaches temperature, bring your tray full to the pit and load them up. With my number of brats, I chose to leave the wire rack underneath them (y'know, work smart - not hard) and let them cook until they reach 160 degrees internally. Remove and enjoy after a fifteen minute resting period.
My wife is on a modified diet for health reasons, and although it makes barbecue a bigger challenge than usual, I want her around as long as the good Lord finds it fit for us to enjoy each other and be here for Little Miss Sunshine. Try this one at your next cookout without the bun and you may never go back to having to tote one...but if you need a bun, bratwurst poppers will fit just fine. As always, thank you for your support of the movement and reading this post. Be blessed, be safe, be good to each other, and tell everyone that every day is a GREAT day for Dub Shack BBQ!
