Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon-Wrapped Bratwurst Bites.
Step 1
Start by using a small fork to poke several holes in the bratwurst, allowing the flavors to seep in beautifully.
Step 2
Place the bratwurst in a saucepan and pour in a generous amount of light beer.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Once cooked, carefully remove the bratwurst from the beer and let them cool to room temperature, allowing the flavors to settle.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to a toasty 425ยฐF (220ยฐC).
Step 6
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a wire rack on top to catch any delicious drippings.
Step 7
In a large bowl, combine brown sugar and cayenne pepper, mixing them well and setting the blend aside for later.
Step 8
Slice each boiled bratwurst into thirds.
Step 9
Take a half slice of bacon and wrap it snugly around each piece of bratwurst, securing it with a toothpick for a perfect hold.
Step 10
Toss the bacon-wrapped bratwurst in the brown sugar and cayenne mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated in that sweet and spicy goodness.
Step 11
Arrange the coated bratwurst on the prepared baking sheet, ready for the oven.
Step 12
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the bacon turns crispy and golden brown, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 13
Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors in every bite!.
