COCKTAIL WIENERS



Cocktail Wieners image

A sweet and savory treat for any get-together that will sure be a crowd pleaser. It's cheap and easy to make in a slow cooker with only three ingredients. I make this for any get-together and it is always a hit! I was a little unsure at first about the grape jelly concoction, but I tried it and have never done it any other way. It is so savory with just enough sweet. I always receive or over hear lots of agreement with the taste of the sauce. It always disappears at parties, and the next day I have cravings for these cocktail wienies. Try it for your next potluck, back yard BBQ, or any event!

  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the bratwursts, be sure to give them enough space so that they can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, they will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the bratwursts over medium heat: This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the bratwursts are cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the bratwursts immediately with your favorite toppings: This could include sauerkraut, onions, mustard, or ketchup.

Conclusion:
