Any of you have a tried and true recipe for homemade brats that you live by? I've tried a bunch of different ones I've found on various websites, but with the exception of 1, they've all been duds and for the life of me, I cannot find the 1 that was actually really good.

I have used this recipe several times and have always liked the results - I usually triple it and freeze a bunch and often add jalapeños and/or high temp cheese
