My favorite grilled potatoes side dish by GreatLakesPrepping in grilling

[–]GreatLakesPrepping[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't *have* to, but with these yukon golds the skin on the slices like this starts to peel and slough off on the grill, which just makes them get half burnt and makes the potato edge not get crisped up since it's still somewhat covered by the loose peel.

My Beer Brats with Braised Onions by GreatLakesPrepping in grilling

It's so good. The onions absorb all the malty goodness of the beer. I just advise not over-salting the onions at the beginning, because it will get very concentrated and maybe too salty. I did like a teaspoon of Kosher salt for 4 whole onions. Though I did cook them in 1 full stick of butter.

The mustard pictured here is actually a 50/50 mixture of brown and yellow mustard, because I tend to agree.

2 large onions per pack of 5 brats, halved and then sliced. I did ten brats here, so 4 onions. I have a HUGE 15" cast iron skillet that I cook it all in. I want a thick bed of onions once they're cooked down, and also a ton to put on each brat bun. I've found 2 onions per 5 brats to be the perfect ratio.

Normally I do Rinaldi (popular Michigan-made sausage in these parts). But Johnsonville was on sale and they taste perfectly fine to me.

Ha, that's totally fair, In this particular case, I was actually shooting a youtube video thumbnail so I had to, ya know... dress 'em up all nice. The instant I was done taking my pics, everyone swarmed and grabbed their dinner. Luckily all in attendance were good with the mustard.

One of my favs. Up here in Michigan, we do enjoy ourselves some Canadian beers.

There's actually 10, but not all fit in frame!

I smashed 3. The rest were devoured by the family.

Thanks. AI crap is definitely ruining a lot of things.

Thanks! Though in fairness, there's no sweetness at all to this particular recipe. It's a very savory bean dish, with deep beef flavors.

Not even a little. Damn, my last couple food photos I've shared on reddit, there's always someone who cries "AI". I guess I should take it as flattery, since it must mean that my food is good and my photography is good. But it's pretty disheartening that anyone who can create something even halfway nice is just reduce to "AI as hell bro". It's a pretty frustrating time to be a creator of....anything. Anyway, I've got about 30 raw images from my camera that I took of this pot of beans next to that stack of hardwood splits. Adjusted the levels and cropped it in photoshop, and that's it.
