Bratwurst with Beer Cheese and Bacon

Ingredients

For the brats:
• 5 of your favorite bratwurst brand
• 1 bottle of your favorite beer
• 1 sweet onion, sliced
• 1 Tablespoon butter

For the Beer Cheese Sauce:
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 1 Tablespoon all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup beer
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon horseradish
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Additional ingredients:
• 5 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 Tablespoon fresh minced chives

Directions

① Melt 1 Tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and brats; cook approximately 10 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides.
② Add beer to pan, reserving 1/4 cup for the sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 15 minutes, until beer has reduced and brats are no longer pink inside.
③ Prepare beer cheese sauce by melting 1 Tablespoon butter in a small saucepan. Stir in flour and seasonings and cook, stirring, 1-2 minutes. Add milk and beer all at once. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese and horseradish.
④ Place brats in Turano Gourmet Rolls, then top with beer cheese sauce, crumbled bacon, and minced chives.
