Ingredients
1package Johnsonville Beer Brats
1package large rolls/buns for brats
6slicesapprox 1/2 lb. bacon
1/2lbsharp cheddarshredded (approx 2 cups) *do not use pre-shredded
4ouncescream cheese
1cup8 oz light beer
1/2tspworcestershire sauce
1/4tspgarlic powder
1/2tspground mustard
*optional - diced chives for garnish.
Instructions
Cook brats according to package directions (we used the Sizzling Sausage Grill to get the perfect brats in under 15 minutes)
Cook bacon and prepare beer cheese sauce while the brats cook.
Pour beer into a pot over medium-high heat. Once the beer just starts to boil/steam, reduce heat to medium-low.
Add freshly shredded cheese slowly to the pan, stirring to avoid scalding the cheese. Then add cream cheese. Continue stirring until completely melted.
Whisk in spices and Worcestershire sauce. Remove from heat.
Once brats are done, place brats in buns. Top with beer cheese, bacon crumbles, and chives!
Notes
* Sauce will thicken as it cools. But if you'd like a thicker sauce that works great for dipping as well, you can mix a slurry of 1 TBSP corn starch with some cold water. Then, add that in to the beer as you heat it and mix in the cheeses!
