It just isn’t officially grilling season, until the first brat hits the grill! And these brats were actually the very first things I grilled this season! And to kick it all off, I wanted to start the season with a very special and unusual saucy relish to top them with, and this Green Olive Dog Sauce with Bacon, Horseradish & Mustard did the trick!

A bratful of some of my favorite toppings! Pimiento-stuffed green olives, crispy smoky bacon, and red onion in a creamy horseradish and mustard-flavored sauce! It was the perfect condiment to accompany a juicy, grilled, sausage bratwurst!

Though these flavors are potent, they didn’t overpower the wonderful flavor of the brat at all. Everything went so well together, that now I may never eat another one with just mustard and onions again!

This was seriously good stuff, Maynard!!

So break in your grill this season with a few hotdogs, brats or burgers, and be sure to make some of this Green Olive Dog Sauce with Bacon, Horseradish & Mustard to go on top! You’ll be amazed at how delicious it is!! Enjoy!!
