Recipe View Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

For a deeper flavor, consider marinating the bratwurst in the beer for a longer period, up to a few hours, before simmering.
Feel free to experiment with different types of beer and seasonings to customize the flavor profile to your liking. Smoked paprika or chili powder can be great additions.
If you prefer a less spicy version, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper.
Ensure the bacon is cooked through to a crispy texture for the best results. If the bacon is browning too quickly, lower the oven temperature slightly.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. They are also delicious when served with a dipping sauce like honey mustard or BBQ sauce.
