Ingredients




For The Brats:
8 bratwurst
1 apple
2 onions
½ stick of salted butter
2 beers of your choice (darker beers work better)
For The Cheesy Beer Sauce:
8 ounces shredded Gruyre cheese
8 ounces shredded orange sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup of simmering liquid from the brats
For The Sriracha Ketchup:
1 cup of ketchup
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

Preparation

1 For The Brats: 2 Slice onions and apple. Place in large pot with butter over medium heat, just until the butter has melted. Slowly add the beer and bring to a boil. 3 Add brats to the pot and cook for 10 minutes. 4 Preheat grill to a medium-high heat. 5 Remove the brats from pot and immediately finish them on the grill for a few minutes, just to get a bit of smoky flavored infused and char the skins. 6 Meanwhile, strain sauerkraut, put it in a small bowl and pour 1/2 cup of the simmering liquid from the brats over the sauerkraut. 7 For The Cheesy Beer Sauce: 8 Toss together cheddar cheese, Gruyre cheese, and flour in a small bowl. 9 Heat 1 cup of liquid from the beer brats in a small sauté pan and slowly add in the cheese mixture one handful at a time. 10 Whisking continually, add another handful of cheese only when the last one has completely melted. Continue until all cheese is thoroughly mixed and creamy. 11 To Assemble: 12 Make the Sriracha ketchup by combining ketchup and Sriracha sauce. 13 Toast buns for 30 seconds over high heat. 14 Add braut and sauerkraut to bun, then a layer of cheese sauce. 15 Finish with sliced jalapenos, chopped green onions, and Sriracha Ketchup.
