Tailgating Meal

We usually get several jumbo hot dogs, bratwurst, itallian sausage and even cheese filled sausages. We put them all in a big stock pot. Then pour in a few beers, 2 chopped onions, tablespoon of black peppercorns, and some salt and ground mustard. We put the pot on the grill and cook for about 25minutes.

Meanwhile we either use an empty soup can, or make a tin foil pan. Fill them with chopped onions, red and green peppers, and mushrooms. Throw in some butter and cook until soft.

When the meat is almost done we remove the pot and then take the sausage out and finish them on the grill so they get a nice char. Then we toast our buns, and have sausage with all the fixings.

Before we started our meat, we start the side dish. All we do is cut up several potatoes in slices. We like red potatoes. Put them in a tin foil packet with chopped onion, fried and crumbled bacon, and some more butter. Fold the packet closed and put right on the coals. Turn every 10-15 minutes. takes about 40 minutes.

We also peel ears of corn. Rub the outside with butter and salt. Then wrap the corn in tin foil and put right on the grill. Cooks in about 20 minutes, and ready to eat. Butter cooks right into the corn.

No diets allowed at this feast. Enjoy!!
