Pellet Smoker Cooking: Brat Burgers and Sweet Potato Stacks

Aug 09, 2013

I had some brat burgers thawing out and found a recipe for sweet potatoes done in a muffin pan. I have done other things in a muffin pan and like using one. Whatever you do in one it makes for one nice serving for presenting. I knew the sweet potatoes had to be good; layers of sweet potatoes with Swiss cheese, crumbled bacon in between, salt, pepper and a tablespoon of heavy cream for each one.

I had a six hole muffin pan so I made up the sweet potato stacks in four of them. I par boiled some sliced carrots to fill the other two topped with salt, pepper and a pat of butter.

I preheated my Traeger to 325 deg. which would give me 350 deg. at grill level. I covered the muffin pan with foil and did it for a half hour. I removed the foil and all looked almost done so I got my brat burgers ready to go on. I seasoned the brats with a little Stubb’s pork rub and put them on my grill grates, smooth side up. I topped the brats with a little mustard and flipped after 15 minutes. In another 10 minutes I added some Swiss cheese slices to the brat burgers and took the muffin pan in. I then took the brat burgers in.

I had a slice of Vidalia onion and mustard on my sandwich. The sweet potato stacks were great; I could have eaten two but settled for one along with the carrots.
