About the Recipe
Good game day food doesn't have to be complicated. These are simple and easy to make with just a few ingredients, but the flavor these have are definitely next level!
Ingredients
4 pretzel sub or pretzel hot dog rolls
4 Johnsonville original bratwurst links
2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 large poblano pepper
6-8 slices thick cut bacon, chopped
Preparation
Heat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Add the brats and the poblano pepper. Cook the poblano pepper for about 2 minutes, until partially blackened and blistered. Turn over and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, allow to cool slightly give it a rough chop. Set aside until ready to use.
Cook the bratwurst links on the grill for about 10 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until cooked through and browned.
Heat a large skillet to high heat and add the chopped bacon. Cook on high heat for 7-10 minutes until the bacon is browned and crispy, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat with a slotted spoon and transfer the bacon to a bowl that's lined with a paper towel. Set aside until ready to serve.
In a small saucepan, add the cheese and cream. Stir on medium heat until it becomes a thick, stringy cheese sauce.
To build the brats: Open the pretzel rolls lengthwise and place a brat into each roll. Spoon the cheese sauce on top of the brats, and top the cheese sauce with the roasted poblano and the bacon. Serve immediately.
