BEER CHEESE BRAT SOUP RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Unroll breadsticks and work with one at a time. Roll it out into a thin strip and then fold it into a pretzel shape. Place pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with pretzel salt.
• Bake 12-14 minutes until golden brown.
• For dip, add butter and flour to a medium pot over medium heat. Whisk together to form a roux as the butter melts. Add garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper and cook roux for 1-2 minutes.
• Whisk lager into the roux slowly until it thickens. It should be a gravy consistency. If it’s very thick, add more beer by the quarter cup.
• Once mixture is together, add grated cheese and whisk until melted.
• Serve beer cheese dip immediately with soft pretzels or chips.

Steps:

• Combine cheeses in a bowl with flour. Add beer to a small pot and bring up to a bubble over medium heat. Reduce the heat to simmer and add cheese in handfuls. Stir constantly, melting the cheese in batches. Stir in a figure-eight pattern with wooden spoon. When the cheese has been incorporated fully, stir in the mustard, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Transfer fondue to warm fondue pot.
• In a large skillet, bring 2-inches of water to a boil and blanch the cauliflower for 2 to 3 minutes, drain and arrange around the fondue pot.
• In the same pan, bring the cooking water back to a boil and add the mini franks and sliced wursts. Cook, uncovered until all the liquid has evaporated. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan to crisp the casings. Pile wursts and dogs near fondue. Complete the dipping selections with dishes of pickles, onions and cubed bread.
