A quarter pound beef burger is topped with cheese, brown sugar glazed bacon and a split bratwurst. This glorious mountain of meat is then sandwiched between two halves of a pretzel bun slathered with smoky mustard. Forget the sides! This Sweet and Smoky Bacon Brat Burger is a complete meal! 
I seem to be on a bit of a burger kick as of late. Recent favorites have been my Seven Layer Taco Dip Burger, Triple Cheese Chicken Fajita Cheeseburger and then I made a burger in the form of a pizza with my Bacon Double Cheeseburger Pizza.
And now, my recent creation, my Sweet and Smoky Bacon Brat Burger. This burger is yet another item on the list of why my husband adores me. Or at least that’s what I told him after I made it for him for dinner last week. This isn’t your ordinary burger. No, sir!
When I received a jar of Robert Rothschild Farm’s Anna Mae’s Smoky Mustard, I was smitten and knew Andy would be as well. It’s all the goodness of a summer cookout in the confines of a single jar. The perfect condiment on your next burger or brat, or in the case of this recipe, both!
