Beer-simmered brats stuffed with delicious cheddar and baked inside crescent rolls – try 'em for your next game day party!

More About This Recipe

  • Brats wrapped inside their own golden-brown crescent roll for game day or any day! When it comes to appetizers that pay dividends, these are about as good as it gets. They are cheesy and meaty and the crescent rolls are a perfect soft and flakey wrapper. Plus these Cheesy Crescent Bratdogs are super simple to make, thanks to Immaculate Baking Crescent Rolls! There are many ways to cook a bratwurst but my personal favorite is to simmer them in beer. For this recipe, any beer will work, honestly, so feel free to use a light lager. (Not into beer? Just boil them in water instead.) The crescent rolls should be golden brown -- and, by the way, it’s perfectly fine if some of the cheese melts out of them. Eat these as soon as possible while the crescent rolls are still nice and warm. One crescent roll is a pretty hearty appetizer!
