Beer-Braised Bacon-Wrapped Bratwurst
Ingredients
  • 4 bratwurst
  • 3 (12 ounce) cans light beer
  • 5 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 6 slices bacon, cut in half
Instructions
1
Poke the bratwurst several times with a small fork, then position it in a saucepan.
2
Pour the beer into the saucepan and bring to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally.
3
Reduce heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4
Once the bratwurst has finished simmering, carefully remove it from the beer and let it cool to a comfortable room temperature.
5
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of the foil.
6
In a large bowl, combine brown sugar and cayenne pepper, mixing them together until well combined. Set this mixture aside for now.
7
Cut each boiled bratwurst into thirds, then wrap each piece with a thin strip of bacon. Secure the bacon in place using a toothpick.
8
Toss the wrapped bratwurst pieces with the cayenne mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place the bacon-wrapped bratwurst on the prepared baking sheet.
9
Bake the bratwurst in the preheated oven until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, taking anywhere from 25 to 35 minutes.
