Bratwurst Sliders with Beer Braised Onions and Beer Cheese

 Bratwurst Sliders with Beer Braised onions and Beer Cheese


12 slider sized buns


Beer Braised Onions

1 large white onion, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon butter

1 (12 ounce) bottle of German beer

1 teaspoon of sugar

1 teaspoon worcestershire

¼ teaspoon salt 


Bratwurst

10  pre cooked bratwursts cut into fourths


Beer Cheese

10 ounces of cheddar cheese, shredded

4 ounces of Gruyere cheese, shredded

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 cup German beer

2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard

Hot sauce to taste


To make the onions, add thinly sliced onion and butter into a saute pan and cook onions until translucent.  Add sugar, worcestershire, salt, pepper and the bottle of beer.


Cook over medium high heat and cook until the onions start to caramelize and most of the liquid is absorbed.  This will take about 20 minutes.

Place onions in a bowl and cover with foil. Set aside.


Add sliced bratwurst to a pan and saute on medium high until the skin on the brats are browned.


As the brats are browning, toss the cheeses with the cornstarch in a bowl.  


Add the cup of German beer to a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Turn heat down to a simmer and add cheeses, a handful at a time, stirring constantly.  


After the cheese has melted, stir in the brown mustard and hot sauce. 


Layer the bun with a bratwurst, then the beer cheese, and then some onions.  Cover with the top bun.
