Cheese stuffed bacon wrapped bratwurst

TikTok – if you’re not familiar – is the newest social media sensation and it’s really full of nonsense – but they have these magical little food videos that are really taking off! This was one of them I ran across late one Saturday night (jealous are you?) – and I woke up the next day and went to the grocery store to get everything for it!

What goes in Cheese Stuffed Brats?

First – you need to gather up all the ingredients – we went for:

  • Beer Bratwurst – be sure to get the raw brats not smoked that are pre-cooked
  • Mozzarella sticks
  • Thick sliced bacon – you want it to stand up to the heat of the grill
  • BBQ Rub – I love Historic BBQ – they are the only ones I use – for this I used the RED which is made for chicken and pork
  • BBQ Sauce – I love Williamson Bros – you can get it online at Walmart and let me tell you – it’s worth it!!! It’s so delicious! It’s a very light and seasoned sauce – perfect for basting

How do you stuff and grill bratwurst?

First thing you need is a sharp knife! I like to use a boning knife – they’re not expensive but so helpful. Here’s what to do:

  • Make a sharp cut lengthwise down the brat and cut about 2/3 of the way down
  • Unwrap your cheese stick (just making sure you’re paying attention) and shove it into the brat opening. Because the pork is raw you can really mush it in there!
  • As you smush the cheese in – wrap the sausage around the brat so it all comes back together to hold the cheese in.
  • Wrap each brat TIGHTLY in a thick slice of bacon. This will be the best way to seal in the cheese so it doesn’t pop out!
  • Sprinkle your BBQ rub seasoning all over the bacon-wrapped brats
  • Then onto a grill over medium heat – it should take about 15-20 minutes to cook them
  • You’ll want to basted them every five minutes with the bbq sauce and turn as you go
  • Don’t be alarmed if the cheese pops out! It’ll happen – just keep the cheese side up for the rest of the grilling time
  • Temp check and remove when they’re 160-165 degrees! (This meat thermometer is a necessity!)

What to serve with grilled brats?

There’s so many delicious side dishes that go with grilled brats – here are my favorites:

  • KFC Cole Slaw
  • Mary Mac’s Macaroni and Cheese
  • Traeger Grilled Vegetables

      I’m doing the olive garden chicken pasta from TikTok as we speak! And hey – you could use still have that and serve it over cauliflower rice or use low carb pasta! I tried the pasta chips and it was not successful! But i’ll keep TikToking – have you seen the keto buffalo chicken nuggets??? Those might be next!
