Test Kitchen TipsStone-ground mustard

has more heat and a deeper flavor than

yellow mustard. Other mustards can be

substituted.Starting this recipe with

cooked brats makes it speedy and

convenient. If you decide to start with

uncooked brats, grill them until fully

cooked first, then cut into thirds and

proceed with the recipe.
