well hello folks it's mike here i just
want to welcome you back to mr cast iron
and today we've got the sportsman grill
out and you guessed it we're going to be
making brats and summer sausage with
grilled onions got my coffee here ready
because it's national coffee day
so let's get this show on the road here
we got our sportsman's grill down
in the fire pit because it's kind of
windy and chilly today so
we want to knock that wind off of the
sportsman grill we got a pretty good
chunk of charcoal in there heated up now
but i'm going to add a little bit more
because i need
because i need a good bit of fire today
to get these brats and this summer
sausage charred the way i want to
and then we're going to take an atom to
a cast iron skillet here with our grill
with our onions and grill those onions
in a little bit but
anyway we'll get these dudes turned over
here they're starting to char pretty
good we're getting a little bit of char
on them
well that looks good right there don't
it man and brochures
looking real good now some of these
summer sausages here looks to me like
they're
starting to get a little too hot on this
one end over here but that's okay
we're going to pull them off here in a
little bit we're not going to cook them
all the way through
just uh right now just want to get a
good little char
on the sides of them and we'll take and
pull these off here and
and get them in our pan here and so
we'll get the rest of these here we got
several of them already off the grill
that's ready and we'll put some of these
others it's not
completely done yet kind of over in the
uh
hotter part of the grill to kind of
finish them off a little bit and get a
good char on them
but anyway i want to know do you like
summer sausage or do you like brats
leave me a comment down in the
description there or
down in the comment section let me know
which one you like the best bratz or
summer sausage
my wife's more of a summer sausage
person and i'd say
i probably am too but anyway we've got
our 12 inch
cast iron skillet here we got a couple
of onions sliced up got our brats ready
to go and
in this cast iron skillet now i've got
about a half a stick of butter
and i'm also going to put a little bit
of chicken broth in here i got about a
half a can of chicken broth i'm going to
add to this so we can
kind of start to saute these onions down
and we'll get all this mixed up together
here real good and we'll set this over
on the sportsman grill and
let them uh start to do their trick do
their thing
i love some good old sauteed onions
don't you
man and butter and chicken broth just
makes it so we'll get these on here and
let them go put a lid on it for just a
minute
and allow them to start to steam down a
little bit
and so now it's been just about 10
minutes or so we'll take a look at them
see what they look like they're starting
to uh starting to saute down a little
bit so we'll go ahead and get these
stirred and
mixed around a little bit and
[Music]
let them continue to simmer down
give them just a few more minutes to do
what we want and
get them to the point we want so let's
put a lid back on them let them simmer
just a few more minutes so
it's been just about i don't know eight
or ten more minutes so
boy these are looking good i want you to
look at these onions here
so we'll go ahead man i wish you could
smell this
and that smells so good anyway we'll uh
we'll go ahead and start to add these uh
sausages and broths to this
uh to these sauteed onions and uh we'll
place all these dudes in here
real nicely let them start to steam up
and cook up
what we're wanting to do now being pork
and everything we're going to try to
pull these up to about
oh 165 170 or so internal temperature
and since we've already got them charred
real good
uh they've partially cooked got the
onions partially cooked so this
shouldn't take long because this
sportsman the grill is hot and that
griddle
or grill is real close to the charcoal
so it ain't gonna take long but um
anyway we'll go ahead and pour the rest
of the juice up in here and get the lid
on this dude and uh
we'll uh let it do its deal we'll come
back and check this here in about 10
minutes or so so give me just a minute
well it's been about 10 minutes let's
take a look at this and see what uh
what's going on here
well look at the moisture come off of
that lid man you think that thing ain't
steaming up good
look at that boy looks good right there
[Music]
i wish you guys could smell this because
this sure smells good
got the whole neighborhood smelling up i
know my neighbors love me
but anyway we're going to move these
around just a little bit we're going to
put the lid back on it
and we're going to go ahead and um what
i'm going to do i'm going to turn this
skillet
kind of like we do on a dutch oven i'm
going to turn this skillet a quarter
turn
on the sportsman grill here in case we
do have some hot spots and
let's take a look at it now it's been on
here about 10 more minutes and
everything so i want to make sure
we don't burn these or whatever don't uh
cook them too long because this is hot
this is a hot fire
oh yeah these are looking real good
these brats let me test these here uh
my uh insta-rate thermometer

it from the fire
