Pit Crew Challenge | Brat Sauce But No Brats!

It's no secret that our Honey Dijon Barbecue 'N Brat Sauce is great on, well...brats! But it shines on SO many foods beyond that. From potato salad to deviled eggs, the tangy flavors can uplift dishes beyond your wildest imagination. That's why we thought it would be fun for the Pit Crew to feature Brat Sauce in dishes with one rule - NO brats! We have some very creative approaches here. Enjoy!
