Bluegrass Lean Bratwurst w/ BBQ Baked Beans

Dinner Tonight: Bluegrass Lean Bratwurst w/ BBQ Baked Beans




Started my morning off with some Waffles. I used Bisquick Heart Healthy Mix to make them. I also had a couple of Eckrich Smoked Turkey Sausage Links and my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Cleaning today, vacuum, dusting, and such. Out in our backyard we have 2 different Rabbit nests, 1 nest is already gone it had about 6 or 7 babies in it. Mostly cloudy out had a high of 78 degrees, a bit cooler. Had the cart out later in the day. For dinner tonight Bluegrass Lean Bratwurst w/ BBQ Baked Beans.



I used Blue Grass Lean Bratwurst which are 100 calories and 4 carbs per Brat. To prepare them; Just add the Brats to a large skillet and add water, until the Brats are half way covered. Bring them to a brisk boil but then immediately turn down the heat to a very low boil, more of a simmer than an active boil. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, then finish off in a pan with just the Brats and a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil to get a nice crispy char and finish. Love this method, if you can’t grill them. Delicious, plump, and they cook up great!Served it on a Kroger Lite Wheat Bun topped with French's Spicy Brown Mustard. Also had a few slices of Jalapeno and a few Ruffle's Wavy Potato Chips.





For a side to go with my Brats I prepared some BBQ Baked Beans. I made a very small amount, I

used a 2 Serving can of Bush's Original Baked Beans Seasoned with Bacon and Brown Sugar. Just the right size if cooking for one. I emptied the can into a small sauce pan. I added 3 tablespoons of Jack Daniels Honey Smoked BBQ Sauce to it, stirred until well mixed. Simmered for about 8 minutes and it's done. The BBQ Sauce gives it a nice Smokey Flavor.  Makes a nice little side, easily made and easy clean-up. Brats and Beans on a Saturday! For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding. Love these Sugarless Pudding Cups, only 60 calories and 10 net carbs per cup.
