Pre-Cooked or Uncooked Brats? For camping, pre-cooked sausages are much easier to deal with. If using uncooked sausages, make sure to bring a meat thermometer. Cook sausages to the internal temperature indicated on the packaging.
Meat + Meatless Options: This recipe works well with any variety of bratwurst or bratwurst-style sausage. I like the vegan brats from Beyond Meat. If you prefer chicken sausages, we like the apple chicken sausages from Trader Joe's or the Never Any! brand apple chicken sausages from Aldi.
