    Don’t forget some Bavarian kraut and polish sausage links (along with some sweet pickle relish, spicy brown mustard, and ketchup) for those dogs! My favorite! My late husband used to buy these for me at baseball games and I fell in love them (and him).

    Red onion and chipotle aioli, brioche bun!

    My Favorite thing to put on Brats is Mashed Potatoes and Sauerkraut, my 2nd favorite is Velvetta Mac and Cheese with bacon strip and little mustard and the 3rd best way is coleslaw, chili and mustard.
