Summer entertaining is all about the hot dogs, so we kicked that grilling classic up a notch with juicy bratwurst stuffed into baguettes. Serve them up with an array of mix-and-match toppings: sweet caramelized onion, seasoned tomatoes, pickles, tangy pineapple relish with a kick of heat, and creamy Dijon slaw. This crowd-pleasing meal is best enjoyed family style so that everyone can build their perfect brat. Guten appetit!

Wash and dry produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Dice a few pickle slices until you have 2 TBSP. Cut tomatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges; transfer to a plate and season with salt and pepper. Halve baguettes lengthwise, stopping before you get all the way through. GRILLING ALTERNATIVE: Preheat a well-oiled grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add sausage* and sear until browned all over, 6-8 minutes. (TIP: You may need to cook in batches. If sausage begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium low.) Reduce heat to low and cover pan with lid; cook until cooked through, 5-7 minutes more. GRILLING ALTERNATIVE: Add sausage to grill or grill pan. Grill until browned and cooked through, 10-12 minutes per side. (If sausage begins to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium low.)
While sausage cooks, heat a large drizzle of oil in a second large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 8-10 minutes. Add 1 tsp sugar and a splash of water; cook until caramelized, 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper. GRILLING ALTERNATIVE: Place onion in the center of a large piece of foil. Drizzle with oil and season with 1 tsp sugar, salt, and pepper. Cinch into a packet. Add onion foil packet to one side of grill or grill pan. Grill until softened, 10-12 minutes.
While onion cooks, heat a dry, medium pan over medium heat. Add pineapple and juice, jam, diced pickles, half the vinegar, and ¼ cup water. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until relish has thickened and water has evaporated, 2-4 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, combine mustard, mayonnaise, remaining vinegar, and 1 tsp sugar. Add cabbage and carrot mix; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer caramelized onion, pineapple relish, and slaw to serving bowls and place on a large board or platter. Place seasoned tomatoes and remaining pickle slices on board. Fill baguettes with sausage and as many toppings as you like. Serve family style!
