Bacon Wrapped Brats

bacon wrapped brats

Super Bowl Sunday is February 1st and most likely you have started to make your plans.  I know that my list has been started.  You know by now that I am a planner so I make list for everything.  Occasionally, if I have an extremely busy day, I will even have a chore list for my housework.  When I run errands I have a list of each stop I need to make, in the order I need to make them, and what I need to do at each place.  I simply work better with a list. 
 
Our friends, Michelle and Jimmy are hosting the Super Bowl party this year.  The Super Bowl is always a fun time surrounded by friends, family, and food.  These brats are delicious, wrapped in bacon and grilled to perfection.  This recipe comes from the maker or our grill, Traeger.  Wesley claims that this is the best thing I’ve ever cooked.  I’m not sure what that says for my cooking, since these are so very simple, but I’ll take it as a compliment anyway.  Serve these with the traditional hot dog condiments or make this delicious mango salsa for a delicious topping.
