Sometimes it's the simplest foods that bring us so much joy. Every couple of weeks I get a hankering for a good hot dog. Usually this happens while watching sports or watching something on Food TV where they explore the origins of hot dogs. While I do love a simple hot dog in a steamed bun with mustard,sometimes you just get a craving for well something different. Which is where this recipe comes in. This is a grown up dog. Beer boiled Brats sliced open and grilled or pan fried then topped with a spicy cream cheese sauce and caramelized onions. You can make this for yourself or a group and it will surely impress.
Brats w/ caramelized Onions
---------------------------
1-2 Packages Of Brats/Smoked Sausage
1 Can of your favorite Beer
1 large onion
1/2 stick of butter
Salt and Pepper to taste
Rolls of your choosing
Pour the full can of beer in pot or large skillet. Cook brats/sausage according to directions. While the Brats Cook heat up a separate skillet and melt your butter. Slice up your onion and start caramelizing. The onions are done when they turn a nice golden brown. When the Brats are done remove from pan and slice down the center but not cutting all the way through the skin. Grill or pan fry til Brats have a nice char. Top with Spicry Cream Cheese and a heaping spoonful of onions and your done and ready to enjoy.
Spicy Cream Cheese Sauce
-----------------------------
1 Package of softened Cream Cheese
1 Can of Rotell
Bust out your beaters and set aside. Drain the can of Rotell and dump in a bowl with the softened Cream Cheese. Beat until incorporated and smooth. The mixture will melt under the warmth of the hot Brats and Onions. So just mix and your done. Any leftovers can be used on bagels the following morning or stored for a week in the fridge.
