Ingredients

• 1 package Bavarian Meats Smoked Bratwurst

• 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter

• 4 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1 cup whole milk

• 1 cup Reubens beer

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard

• ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, but mandatory if you like spicy)

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon pepper

• 2 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  
  To serve:

• Soft pretzels, fresh bread or crackers and a few veggies (we won’t tell!)

Directions

Prepare your game-day brats:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

• Place brats on a sheet pan and roast for 15-20 minutes until the bratwurst are warmed through and look just right! Remove brats from the oven, slice on the bias and arrange on a game-day platter.
  

  Make the Beer Cheese Dip

• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk together until a thick and clumpy paste forms, about 1 minute.

• In a slow and steady stream, whisk in the milk. Continue whisking until it slightly thickens, about 1 minute..

• Slowly add in the beer, Worcestershire sauce, mustard & seasonings and continue stirring for 3-5 minutes until thickening. Over a low heat, add in shredded cheddar cheese and stir until just melted.

• Remove the completed dip from heat and pour into a serving dish.

  To serve

• Serve with pretzels, fresh bread, or your favorite crackers. Include a few vegetables, if you must. And don’t forget the ice-cold Reuben’s!
