Homemade Brat Burgers
These homemade brat burgers are the real thing. Add spices to ground pork, form into patties, and serve brats to your humans any time of the year! Make them into specialty “brats” by adding your favorite ingredients like jalapenos and cheddar.
It’s easy to transform this recipe into party and game day sliders! Form the meat into slider-sized patties and grill. Make up a batch or three, and watch them disappear!
I’m a ground meat fanatic! I grew up in the Supper Club era, and when my parents took us along, I always ordered ground sirloin instead of steak!
I love how many incredible recipes you can make with ground meat—tacos supreme, steak burgers, and cheesy smoked meatballs, to name just a few. In addition, I love the ease of buying frozen one # pouches of high-quality beef and pork from local meat markets and farms and stocking them in baskets in my freezer. It saves me trips to the store and provides stress-free meals on busy days and weeks.

Welcome to Foodie de Froid!
If you love real food, take pleasure in eating, and strive for mouth-watering flavor, you have come to the right place. Here the star of the show IS the food, presenting it in a way that makes it shine.
Tasting Experiences
We feature many appetizers and individual-sized recipes as a purposeful way to experience and share food.
Our mouth reacts to flavors in a transitional way. That first taste creates an exciting experience with the food’s intense flavors, textures, and visual appeal. Yet after the first few bites, our mouths and minds adjust, and that experience deadens.
Thus, the tasting experience! We served 14 consecutive courses at my last tasting party. Each was purposely selected to bring new flavors, textures, and presentations, creating surprises and wow moments throughout the night.
The Recipes
The recipes are documented with ingredients we love. Yet my greatest hope is to have you understand why the recipes work and eventually make them into your personal version using your favorite ingredients and presentations.
