  • 5 hot dog buns
  • 1 large Vidalia onion
  • 2-3 jalapenos
  • Oil for cooking
  • Salt and pepper
  • *You will been a veggie grilling basket so that onions and peppers don't fall through the grill.
  • Beer cheese:

  • 1/2 cup ale
  • 8 oz block sharp white cheddar cheese (grated)
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (less if you don't want too spicy)
  • Salt to taste

Instruction

  • Prepare your grill and heat it through before cooking the brats. (Set your coals on the lowest bar, so they are not too close to the top.)
  • Rub every brat with some vegetable oil.
  • Slice onions and jalapenos and add them to a mixing bowl. Add some oil, salt and pepper, and mix well.
  • Depending on the size of your grill, you can cook veggies first and brats afterwards or cook them at the same time.
  • Place brats on the grill and close the lid. Cook them for 4-5 minutes of each side.
  • Place prepared onions and jalapenos in a veggie basket and cook until done.
  • Place cooked brats in hot dog buns and top off with grilled onions and jalapenos.
  • Pour some beer cheese sauce over the brats.
  • Beer Cheese Sauce:
  • In a small sauce pot, over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in Wondra flour. Slowly pour in ale while whisking constantly. Once the mixture is smooth, add cheese and keep stirring until the cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Add paprika, cayenne pepper and some salt to taste. Serve with brats right away.
