Description

Directions

• 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.
• Add brats to the pot and cook for 10 minutes.
• Preheat grill to a medium-high heat.
• 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.
• Meanwhile, strain sauerkraut, put it in a small bowl and pour 1/2 cup of the simmering liquid from the brats over the sauerkraut.
• Toss together cheddar cheese, Gruyre cheese, and flour in a small bowl.
• 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.
• Whisking continually, add another handful of cheese only when the last one has completely melted. Continue until all cheese is thoroughly mixed and creamy.
• Make the Sriracha ketchup by combining ketchup and Sriracha sauce.
• Toast buns for 30 seconds over high heat.
• Add braut and sauerkraut to bun, then a layer of cheese sauce.
• Finish with sliced jalapenos, chopped green onions, and Sriracha Ketchup.
