Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Brats Recipes

Steps:

• Poke bratwurst several times with a small fork, and place into a saucepan with the beer. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the bratwurst from the beer, and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place a wire rack on top.
• Toss the brown sugar and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl and set aside. Cut each bratwurst into three pieces, wrap each piece with half strip of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Toss the bratwurst with the cayenne mixture to coat, then place onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until the bacon is brown and crisp, 25 to 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut the bacon strips in half length-wise (just leave in the package and cut with a knife). Cut the sausage into pieces that are about the same width of the bacon strips. Just toss the ends of the sausages.
• Wrap the 1/2-strips of bacon around the sausages and hold it in place with a toothpick. Place on top of a cookie sheet. Now I like to do these two ways: for a spicy kick shake a few pepper flakes on top of each sausage or for more of a sweeter flavor try a small sliver of candied ginger.
• Top each sausage with a loose 1/2 - 3/4 tsp scoop of brown sugar. The brown sugar will be used to gauge when the sausages are done. When it melts down and turns into a little volcano of brown sugar they are READY!
• If your grill is already full then put these in your oven at 300°F for approximately 45-60 minutes. Its nearly impossible to overcook these, but you do want to keep some of the molten brown sugar on top for flavor. So don't forget to give your guests this treat.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the green onions and cream cheese . Stuff mushroom caps with the cheese mixture. Wrap each mushroom with a half-slice of bacon, and secure with toothpicks. Place on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bacon is cooked through.

Steps:

• Cream cheese and bacon should be room temperature for easier handling.
• Season pork chops with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, then pound to about 1/4" thickness.
• Put cream cheese (1-2 tablespoons) onto the center of each flattened pork chop.
• Roll the pork chops closed (to keep the cream cheese inside).
• Wrap each pork chop in one to two pieces of bacon (depending on how big your pork chops are). Secure with a toothpick.
• Place the pork chops in a lightly greased baking dish, and bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
• Broil for 5 minutes to crisp the bacon.
