        This was my starting recipe…

        I like the TVP / rice / oat combination. Using that base I’ve been successful in substituting spicy flavorings for the “brat” spices specified. Apparently vegan/vegetarian casing aren’t available but I’ve found rice wrappers work very well. Contrary to the recipe, try the round shaped ones first. You can tuck the ends in as you roll so it works out a lot neater than the twisted off wrapper ends.

          Neat. Thanks for sharing I’m still relearning how to cook, but if I can find the ingredients I may try it.

        Simple Truth (Ralph’s, Kroger, etc) used to have some good vegan brats, but as time went on they got harder to find. Now I’m not seeing them on the Kroger website. Maybe they’ve been discontinued. There were a few others that were decent, but some had not-so-nice ingredients. Finally I started to experiment with making my own and haven’t been tempted to go back to purchasing.

        My husband and I like Morningstar for taste, and I also enjoy the jumbo Smart Dogs (smart dogs need pierced before fire roasting or direct grilling). Husbo doesn’t like smart dogs as much.

        My husband really enjoys the impossible and beyond brats.

        Fwiw, my husbo is a meat eater and I’ve been veg for 26 years. He’s eating more plant-based meat alternatives due to some wicked stomach issues he was diagnosed with two years ago.
