Head to the Midwest for the big game with a platter full of these crunchy snacks enlivened with a beer-enhanced cheese sauce. Ingredients:
1 package (14 ounces) fully cooked smoked bratwurst links, sliced |
2-1/4 cups frozen pepper and onion stir-fry blend |
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
2-1/2 teaspoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup chopped onion |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 garlic clove, minced |
3/4 cup beer or beef broth |
12 cups tortilla chips |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute bratwurst for 1 minute. Add stir-fry blend; cook 3-5 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Set aside and keep warm.
2. In a large bowl, combine cheese and flour. In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in beer; heat over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low; add a handful of cheese mixture. Stir constantly, using a figure-eight motion, until almost completely melted. Continue adding cheese, one handful at a time, allowing cheese to almost completely melt between additions.
4. Arrange tortilla chips on a large serving platter. Spoon cheese mixture over chips. Top with bratwurst mixture. Serve immediately. Yield: 12 servings.
