Servings 16 Sliders
Ingredients
- 5 thick-sliced bacon strips chopped
- 1 pound uncooked bratwurst links casings removed
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 package 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
- 1 cup dark beer or nonalcoholic beer
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 16 dinner rolls split and toasted

Instructions
- In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving drippings. Cook bratwurst and onion in drippings over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, breaking into crumbles. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain well.
