These delicious brat sliders are smothered in our Wisconsin B**r Cheddar, making them the perfect Sunday night football dinner! B**r-simmered brats, caramelized onions, and melty b**r cheddar come together on toasted garlic buttered pretzel buns for an irresistible Oktoberfest meal!

INGREDIENTS - SLIDERS
- 12 pretzel slider buns
- 5 bratwurst links
- B**r, for simmering the brats
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 8-10 oz Wisconsin B**r Cheddar, thinly sliced or freshly shredded
- Stone ground mustard
- Sauerkraut, well-drained (optional)
- Pickled jalapenos (optional)

INGREDIENTS - BUTTER TOPPING
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cook the brats. Place the bratwurst in a skillet and add enough b**r to partially cover. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes. Drain off the b**r, then brown the brats in the skillet until nicely colored. Let rest briefly, then slice into 1/4-inch rounds.

2. Caramelize the onions. Add the butter and sliced onion to the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft, golden, and caramelized.

3. Preheat oven to 375 F.

4. Slice the pretzel slider buns horizontally and arrange the bottoms in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish or on a sheet pan.

5. Spread the buns with stone ground mustard.

6. Layer with sliced bratwurst, caramelized onions, and well-drained sauerkraut and pickled jalapenos, if using. Top generously with Wisconsin B**r Cheddar, and place the pretzel bun tops over the cheese.

7. Combine melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley. Brush over the bun tops.

8. Cover loosely with foil and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 5-7 minutes, until the Wisconsin B**r Cheddar is melted and the pretzel buns are warm and lightly toasted.

9. Cut into individual sliders and serve hot.

Last week, we recognized the cows who produce the fresh milk for our artisan cheese. Today, on Farmers Day, we want to give a huge thanks to all of the local family farms who make our cheese possible! We source all of our milk from small family farms in Door and Kewaunee counties, since their milk is the key ingredient for our cheesemaking. Because of their hard work and care practices, we have happy cows who produce the best milk in Wisconsin for cheese. ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿง€

Please help us in thanking our local farmers for their dedication and hard work! ๐Ÿ’›

What is "matting out" the cheddar, and why do we do it? ๐Ÿค”

Matting is also called "knitting," and it's the process of stacking and turning slabs of curd to expel whey, increase acidity, and create a dense, smooth texture of cheese. The weight of the upper slabs presses out the whey from the lower slabs, allowing the curd to continue knitting together. Once the desired acidity and texture are reached, the slabs are then cut into cheese curds. ๐Ÿง€

Cheesemaking is an art and a science - not to mention, a good workout too! ๐Ÿ’ช
