Game day just found its new MVP. These bratwurst skewers thread juicy sausage, tender steamed Little Potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and onion onto sticks, brushed with a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze and grilled until golden. They’re fun to eat, easy to prep ahead, and just as at home at a tailgate as they are at a family game night in the living room. Short on time? Use pre-cooked bratwurst, pre-cut veggies, and Microwave Ready Little Potatoes to save steps without losing any flavor. Serve one skewer as an appetizer or two as a main.
On-the-Go Tip
These skewers are made for tailgating. Prep them ahead of time, store in a covered container in the cooler, and grill once you arrive at the game. Slide cooked skewers into foil packets to keep them warm for eating on the go or passing around the crowd, no plates or utensils needed. For family game night at home, serve them right off the grill with dipping sauces in little bowls so everyone can grab and go during halftime.
Kid-Friendly Tip
Little chefs can help thread the veggies and potatoes onto skewers with supervision, or take charge of picking which dipping sauces to serve. For a lighter, kid-friendly flavor, swap the bratwurst for chicken or turkey sausage. Cutting the sausages and veggies into smaller bites makes fun mini skewers just right for little hands, and the sweet honey mustard glaze tends to win everyone over.
