Double Brat Burgers and Corn on the Cob

A lot of you guys in warmer climates have been posting corn on the cob. One of my favorite food and you had my mouth watering for some. I am spoiled from having fresh picked corn during the summer. A produce farm near here sets up a stand just two blocks from me every summer and picks the corn fresh daily. Corn on the cob is best if fixed the day it’s picked. I have to wait until about mid-June for the good corn and the season lasts just over a month.

I don’t care for the frozen corn on the cob at all and the early corn shipped into the groceries here is not too good. I found though if I found some that looked good and steamed it instead of boiling it is a lot better. I found some at Krogers that looked good so I stopped at my butchers and got 4 of his fresh brats to have with it.

I took the meat out of the casings and made 4 brat patties, seasoned with a little Tatonka dust on each side. I had the corn in the steamer and did the brat patties on my grill grates. I had my Traeger at 370 deg. grill level and did the patties 10 minutes on each side. I then sprinkled some shredded triple cheddar on two of the patties and then topped with the other two and some Kaiser buns on top to heat up a couple of minutes.

Man that tasted great, a double brat burger with cheese and mustard and corn on the cob. I had seasoned the corn with some Penzey’s sandwich sprinkle and in corn dishes with some good butter to serve.

That burger looks awesome!  Brat burger with mustard on a kaiser roll.  You can't get much more German that that.  We had some corn on the cob hit the stores last week that was on sale for $0.25 per ear.  It was surprisingly good for this early in the season.

Delicious looking burger Don! I have the Penzeys Sandwich Sprinkle but never tried it on cob. Will
definitely try it the next time I do some.

My mom was raised in Nebraska, and he saying was always, "twenty minutes from stalk to pot."   Guess they used to go set up a big tub of boiling water on the lake (or wherever they were going to picnic), get the fire going to heat the water, then someone would stop by a close cornfield and pick the corn.  Come throw it in the water, cook and eat.   NOW, I prefer the freshest we can get (have to get up early and get to the truck gardens to get that days pick), bring it home and grill it either noon or for supper    Hmmm--good.   Hardly ever eat "boiled" corn anymore--just too blah.  Grilling is the only way to go!

We did that when I lived in Michigan and had friends that raised corn and it was the best corn we ever ate, until I saw the microwave corn method and it's even better to us than that was.
