These bacon wrapped brats with beer cheese sauce are a keto-friendly appetizer that won’t boot you off of your low carb diet. Perfect for any party or for a “treat yourself” snack, you’ll feel good about indulging on these.

Wisconsin is known for its love of bratwurst (or brats). While they are most often boiled in beer, grilled up and served on a bun, if you are counting your carbs that isn’t going to fit into your keto-friendly diet. This tasty appetizer combines brats with another favorite – bacon!

Here’s a bacon-wrapping tip if you find that your bacon-wrapped foods tend to have limp, soggy bacon.

Before you wrap the bacon around your food item – brats (in this case) or veggies, bake the bacon at 400° until the bacon is just starting to crisp on the edges. The bacon should still be flexible enough to wrap around your food, but it will cook a lot faster and hopefully crisp up for you. 

Here’s what you will need to make keto bacon wrapped brats with beer cheese sauce:

  • 6 Bratwurst with no sugar listed in the ingredients
  • 12 Slices of bacon with no sugar added (I prefer no nitrates as well)
  • 3 tbsp. Butter unsalted
  • ½ c. Heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp. Garlic powder
  • Pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp. Cream cheese
  • ⅓ c. Low carb beer like Michelob Ultra
  • 2 c. Shredded cheddar cheese

Here are the step by step directions to making these delicious treats:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. (This is where I recommend precooking the bacon a bit if you’d like it a bit crispier.)

Wrap each bratwurst with two slices of bacon, covering the entire length of the sausage.

While the brats are baking, add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter to a skillet over medium heat.

Once the butter has melted, add ½ cup of heavy whipping cream.

Turn the sauce down to low and simmer to thicken while the brats finish cooking. Whisk the mixture once in a while being sure to scrape the bottom so the sauce does not burn.
