Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 4 bratwurst

  • 3 (12 ounce) cans light beer

  • 5 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 6 slices bacon, cut in half

Directions

  1. Poke bratwurst several times with a small fork and place into a saucepan. Pour in beer and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove bratwurst from beer and allow to cool to room temperature.

  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

  3. Toss brown sugar and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl and set aside.

  4. Cut each boiled bratwurst into thirds. Wrap each piece with 1/2 strip bacon; secure with a toothpick. Toss bacon-wrapped bratwurst with cayenne mixture to coat, then place on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is brown and crisp, 25 to 35 minutes.
