In reply to Susan. Yes. Cholula is the PERFECT hot sauce for this, too!

In reply to Lori Yates. Great idea to add hot sauce, Lori! I just happen to have some Cholula in the fridge. We're having them again tomorrow or the next day, and I'll sprinkle some hot sauce on. Thank you for solving my problem.

In reply to Susan. Hi Susan - Yeah, the firecracker brats were spicy, which balanced the sweetness of the corn really well. I think with some adjustments, you might be able to make it work. Maybe a touch of hot sauce is needed somewhere?

In reply to Lori Yates. We tried these last night, using cheese brats, and they were good. BUT, we have decided that there is a reason you used the firecracker brats, and will do that next time. It could be that I should have used more sauce. I actually made them as burritos, wrapped up in mesquite/whole wheat tortillas (can't abide hotdog buns).

Great recipe, my love. The spicy kick of the sausage paired perfectly with the sweet Michigan corn. It was a spectacular homage to Mexican street corn.

In reply to Susan. Hi Susan! Jeff and I just ate these again for dinner last night, and we both agreed that they might be our favorite recipe all year. The spicy brats are a nice balance to the corn, which is SO sweet in Michigan this time of year (almost like candy!). But, if you can't do spicy, I would just recommend any other type of pretty savory brat. Perhaps even a beer-flavored or soaked brat? And I LOVE the tortilla idea. Now I want to try it that way!

Yum, yum, YUM!!! How I wish my stomach could handle the firecracker brats. Unfortunately it can’t, and my husband also no longer likes much heat in his food. One of the perils of growing old, I guess. It wouldn’t be quite as interesting using stadium brats, but the idea of doing brats with street corn is brilliant. Actually, I would probably wrap the whole thing in a tortilla, since we are in tortilla country (and I like tortillas far better than any bread). Is there a better substitute for the firecracker brats than stadium brats?
