This is grilled and makes a nice meatloaf shape that can be carved into slices as an elegant grilled dinner item with a sauerbraten type of gravy or made into German burgers by serving on a bun, with an extra slice of swiss melted on top. It's different, to be sure, but in a good way, and it is delicious and all my family enjoyed.
Ingredients:
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 lb ground beef
1 lb bulk bratwurst (no casings)
3/4 lb cold pack sauerkraut, drained and squezed dry
4 ounces shredded swiss cheese
1 tablespoon dusseldorf mustard or 1 tablespoon other german mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon oil
Directions:
1. Prepare grill for indirect cooking.
2. Saute onion and garlic until onion is translucent.
3. Allow to cool, then mix in meats, mustard, salt and pepper.
4. Oil or spray a cookie sheet sized piece of wax paper.
5. Evenly spread out meat into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
6. Layer cheese and sauerkraut over the surface of the meat.
7. Carefully roll meat up as a jelly roll, pinching sides and seams closed.
8. Place on grill away from direct heat and cook until center of roll registers 160F on a meat thermometer, about 75 minutes.
9. Allow to stand 15-20 minutes before slicing.
