Brats may be grilled, broiled, or simmered. Check with meat thermometer to make sure center is at least 165 degrees. Bison hot dogs are fully cooked and are best warmed in a pan of simmering water. Once cooked, brats or hot dogs may be sliced and added to macaroni & cheese, baked beans, pasta dishes, or scrambled eggs. Because of their size they do not fit well in a regular hot dog bun; try rolling up in a tortilla instead.
