    Hormel Bacon cheddar bratwurst


    NOTE:


    Personal Creation




  • Ingredients


    4 bratwurst
    4 2 inch long pieces of extra sharp cheddar, each about 1/2 ounce
    4 slices Hormel bacon
    4 crusty rolls

    Sauerkraut topping:
    1 pound bag sauerkraut with caraway seeds in it
    10 juniper berries
    2 tablespoons brown sugar
    2 tablespoons reserved Hormel bacon fat drippings
    1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

    TOPPERS:
    8 tablespoons mayonaise
    Chopped raw red onion
    2 tablespoons diced pickled jalepenos per brat
    2 romaine leaves per brat
    Nice go withs:
    German potato salad
    baked beans
    cole slaw





    Directions


    Make your sauerkraut topping first because the brats are going to cook really fast.
    In a saucier put the sauerkraut, juniper berries (bought these on line),sugar, bacon drippings, pepper. Heat to a simmer, and simmer while fixing everything else to give flavors a chance to dance together a little.
    Now for the brats, make a pocket in the middle of the brat, being carefull not to go all the way to the end.
    Place a piece of cheese in the pocket.
    Wrap a slice of Hormel bacon around the outside, being sure to completely cover the cheese.
    Fry in a preheated 350° fryer for 6 to 8 minutes, or until bacon is golden and crispy.
    Serve with toasted crusty rolls, slather of mayo, and toppings of your choice
