Notes
These are an amazing appetizer or side dish. Â Feel free to use a reg BBQ sauce instead of mustard based but I just feel like brats and mustard go together like peas and carrots. Â A BBQ rub with a little heat really goes a long way as well!
I’m going to try looks delicious
Is there another way to make these if you don’t have a smoker?
Same time/temps as smoker!!
Can I do this in the oven?
Yes! Same instructions, just won’t have the smoky flavor. Still delicious!
What is the preferred mustard based bbq sauce you use?
Can you mix both red bbq sauce and mustard based?
You def can mix. I like a lot of different brands. LilliesQ is solid!
