Method

Bratwurst Preparation

  1. 1

    Grill the Bratwurst

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the bratwurst sausages for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Brioche Buns

    During the last few minutes of grilling, place the brioche buns on the grill to toast lightly, about 1-2 minutes.

Sauteed Peppers and Onions

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped bell peppers and sliced onion. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.

Wisconsin Beer Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the Beer Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the Wisconsin beer, ensuring no lumps form. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and creamy.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Bratwurst

    Place each grilled bratwurst in a toasted brioche bun. Top generously with the sautéed peppers and onions, and drizzle with the Wisconsin beer sauce.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve with a side of kettle chips for a complete meal.
