Good call sdlouise, we almost doubled the spices until we saw your comment, thanks! We did this for our Oktoberfest tailgate, it went over like crazy!

I also purchased the Kitchenaid meat grinder for this recipe and it worked great. Followed the recipe as it was written -- my only change was to make 1/4 burgers rather than 1/2 pounders. For the spices, look for these in bulk containers at health food stores -- they will be fresher, cheaper and you only buy what you need. I shopped at a local Fresh Market and bought smoked bacon and a high end swiss cheese -- this along with the spicy sauerkraut sent this sandwich over the top.

I visited the Town Talk Diner last night and enjoyed a Brat Burger and garlic parsley ff. I came home and looked up the recipe asap so I could make them.

I also wondering about the "brat spice mix"... I they have some premade mixes that are sold in the same area as meat grinders, I wonder if that is what it's calling for. Another question I have, where are juniper berries sold? Once I find the needed ingredients, I will be making these burgers weekly. Oh sooo good!

Brat Spice Mix:
2 tablespoons freshly ground white pepper
2 teaspoons rubbed sage
1 teaspoon ground mace
1 teaspoon ground celery seed
1 3/4 pounds pork shoulder, diced
1/4 pound fat back, diced
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon brat spice mix

What should the last ingredient be?
I don't think they meant to put "1 tablespoon of brat spice mix" to make brat spice mix.

Rarely does a recipe look and taste exactly how I imagined it... this one does.

I cheated and used disassembled Johnsonville Brats... a package was good for 3 burgers. I wondered if 1T of garlic-chili paste was going to make the kraut too spicy, but when it's all put together it's fantastic. But it isn't just the kraut... it takes the gruyere cheese, crispy bacon and toasted buns to make this the special burger that it is..

Thanks to Tor Westgard for providing the recipe.

We bought the KitchenAid Food Grinder just to make this recipe and we are so glad we did! It was perfect. The only thing we did not make was the spicy sauerkraut - just used the regular kraut. Can't wait to make this again and again.
