Ingredients

• 4 Bratwurst

• 3 (12 oz) can Light Beer

• 5 tbsp Brown Sugar

• 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper

• 6 slices Bacon (halved)

Directions

• 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 it to cool to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 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 a strip of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Toss bratwurst with 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.
