Wisconsin Beer Brats #johnsonvillebrats #wisconsinbeer

Did you know that today is National Hot Dog Day?  I know, we have a “day” for everything now.  But none the less, in honor of this special day I thought I would make my version of a hotdog. {insert sneaky smirk} 🙂  Let me introduce you to my hometown favorite … Wisconsin Beer Brats.

Wisconsin is known for its Beer, its Brats, and its Cheese! So on a day like today I had to make these Brats.  They may not fit the bill of being a “healthy” meal but man they sure do fit the bill of being “joyful”.  I know after tasting them you will completely agree!  When making these brats the key is to bring them to a boil and then let them soak in all that Wisconsin Beer goodness. It is divine!
