ingredients

drunken veggies
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 green bell peppers thinly sliced
  • 1/2 large sweet onion peeled and thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup beer I used a lager here, but pilsner works well too
brats
  • 4 bratwursts
  • 4 hot dog buns
cheddar cheese sauce
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp flour
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup milk plus more to thin if needed
  • 5 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1 1/4 cups
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • To make the vegetables, heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sauté peppers and onion for 5 minutes, until softened. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add beer and cook, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes, until almost caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Place bratwurst on the grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning frequently for even cooking. Once fully cooked (145˚F to 150˚F internally), removed from grill.
  • While the brats are grilling, melt butter for the cheese sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in flour and garlic powder, cooking for an additional minute while stirring constantly.
  • Slowly whisk in milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until it comes to a light boil and thickens.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in cheese. Cook until cheese is melted, stirring constantly, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepepr to taste. If too thick, you can thin it out by adding a little milk.
  • Place cooked brats in buns, then top with beer braised vegetables and cheese sauce. Serve immediately.
