Beer Chili Cheese Brats

If you are looking for the perfect Brewhouse Pub food made at home – you came to the right place! This delectable combination of beer cheese, a quick chili and bratwurst come together as the perfect grown-up version of a chili cheese dog. Beer Chili Cheese Brats are going to make the whole family happy and probably need a fork and knife to eat it all up!

The quick chili is amazing and can be used in so many ways. You get some much flavor in a short time – it’s incredible. The beef broth lends a lot of the flavor – don’t use water! Always use broth whenever you can. If you really want to develop flavor – you could use dried kidney beans, and soak them in beef broth the night before instead of using canned beans.

I didn’t serve a side dish with this recipe – because Holy Moly is it filling. The hubs and older boys had two each but the rest of us barely polished off one! If you wanted to make only one per person you could serve with some fries or tots. Or you could add a side salad to cut back on the considerable caloric intake.

Now Let’s Get Cookin’!
