Major League Baseball is BACK! Happy Opening Day and Opening weekend to all you baseball fans around the U.S. and beyond. What’s more perfect for Opening Day than beer chaser brats?! MLB Opening Day came a little earlier this year and we aren’t complaining. It might be a little chillier in some places than normal, but that’s all the more reason to fire up a grill – whether it’s to keep warm around or use as an excuse to get outside and enjoy – either in your backyard or at the stadium lots.
There is no better way to kick off the baseball season, whether homegating or tailgating, than serving up beer and brats, so why not try this recipe from our friends at Johnsonville that combines both?
