Bacon Wrapped Brats.... almost on the campfire

cowgirl · 05-18-2011, 05:11 PM

I've been camping a lot lately. On my last trip I didn't find out until I arrived, that there was a burn ban. So.... no campfires were allowed but they said you could use gas.
I don't cook on gas when camping I cook over a campfire... but I had my weed burner with me (for starting the campfire)

I had my heart set on a hot bacon wrapped brat... and there was an icky campground grill...

I shoved the weed burner into the base of the icky grill, added a pot of brats in beer...

let them simmer for awhile

wrapped them in bacon while I caramelized some onions and heated the kraut..

wrapped the icky grill in foil and poked holes in the foil with a toothpick...then browned my bacon wrapped brats...

toasted some buns...

topped with the caramelized onions, kraut and spicy brown mustard

I was so happy :)

Thanks for looking!

I was about to put out a A.P.B. on you, Jeanie! Welcome home. Glad you had fun camping. AWESOME job adapting, improvising and overcoming your dire circumstances. You, ma'am, are a prime example of great American ingenuity. You make me proud to be an American. :)

Nicely improvised, lady!

And in other news, there IS something on this earth that even cowgirl finds "icky".

Shhh, don't say that too loudly around here, the pedestal everyone's put you on might wobble!
