Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Brats
Bacon and Cheese make everything better and that couldn’t be more true with this amazing recipe of Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Brats. It is the perfect recipe to grill.
Do you think bacon and cheese make everything better??? You are not alone because my family thinks the same exact thing! If you love grilling brats during the summer like I do, then you must try this recipe because I promise you will not be disappointed!
I love using Johnsonville Brats for their great taste and fulfilling ingredients. This year, you can also spice up your traditional backyard gathering by adding different flavors to your favorite sausage lineup with the new Butcher Shop and Griller varieties. Best of all this is a great low carb recipe! You will fall in love if you are eating Keto.
For this grilling recipe you only need a few ingredients – brats, cheese slices, bacon slices and toothpicks. Before assembling the brats you will want to soak the toothpicks in water. This helps them not catch on fire when on the grill. Soak for at least 30 minutes if not longer. When assembling the brats start by cutting a slice in the brat and stuff the cheese inside.
Next start wrapping the bacon around the brat. Avoid overlapping the bacon so it cooks evenly. Keep the bacon in place by inserting toothpicks. I use 3-4 toothpicks per brat. Once the Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Brats are ready, heat the grill and get to cooking! These brats are perfect for Father’s Day or any barbecue you may have this summer. Be sure to give them a try, you will not be disappointed!

Ingredients
- 1 pkg. brats
- 3 pieces string cheese sticks sliced into smaller pieces
- 12 slices bacon slices about 1 to 1 1/2 slices per brat
- 1 pkg. toothpicks about 3 per brat presoak in water, this prevents them from catching fire
Instructions
- For each brat, cut a lengthwise slit about 3/4 of the way through, leaving the ends intact.
- Stuff cheese tightly inside.
- Using a toothpick, secure a strip of bacon at one end of the brat and start wrapping, keeping the bacon snug but avoiding overlapping.
- If you run out of bacon before you get to the end of the brat, continue your wrapping with another half strip.
- Secure bacon with toothpicks in the center and at the end of the brat.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Place brats over indirect heat and grill first side for 4 minutes or until bacon is crispy and cooked through on that side.

Can’t wait to try these Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Brats for Father’s Day!
How much cheese can I use to stuff bratwurst and could it work on a george foreman grill? Do you wrap it up with aluminum foil before putting it on the grill? How long will it take to cook? Reason why I’m asking is cause I did it with the jumbo hotdogs and I used alot of cheese and also wrapped it in cheese and then the Applewood Smoked Bacon then used aluminum foil. Also have another question for something else it’s about Deviled Eggs I’ve never made it before, so what is the best way for making it? Like what ingredients are used, how much for 18 servicings?
can you do these in oven??
Yes!
And how long and at what temperature in the oven? Thanks
To Bake: Place Sausage in an oven safe pan/skillet. Preheat oven to 350° F. Place sausage in oven for 20-25 minutes then turn to the other side. Be sure that it is thoroughly cooked.
Hi Melissa
How long would I cook these in the oven at what temp ?
20 minutes or until the internal link temperature reaches 160°F and the bacon is done.
Ty i was looking for an oven substitute to the grill
I always start the bacon in the microwave just for a short time to give them a head start on cooking.
So on the grill they aren’t under or over cooked by te time whatever you wrap is done
