While nothing will precisely replace the flavor and consistency of Heinz, so ingrained in our psyche, this one comes pretty darn close!

I grew up in a deeply rooted German community in southern MN, rich in culture, festivals, and food. That being said, I think I have a discriminate palate for a good brat. So as I developed this recipe, the key to its success was to nail it on flavor, as well as achieving that snap when you bite into it as if it had a casing. Mission accomplished!
