Ingredients

Sliders

1 package 5 count uncooked brats
1 sweet onion
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 bottle light beer
1 package silver dollar rolls OR slider buns
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup stone ground mustard
8 slices Muenster cheese

Sauce

4 Tablespoons salted butter
1/2 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 Tablespoons dried mustard powder
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Heat to medium-high, then add brats and sear for 5 minutes, turning as needed to brown all sides.
Add sliced peppers and onions to the skillet with the brats; season with salt & pepper. Reduce heat to medium and slowly add the beer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring the vegetables occasionally.
Remove brats from the skillet and slice into pieces (about 8 pieces per brat.) Drain any remaining liquid from the pepper & onion mixture.
Cut the buns in half, being careful to leave them attached if possible. Place the bottom bun halves on a rimmed baking sheet or 9x13 inch pan lined with foil. Brush with mayo and mustard, then layer with brats, vegetables, and cheese. Add the bun tops to complete the sandwiches.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter for the sauce over medium-low heat. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
Brush the butter sauce over the tops of the buns.
Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until cheese is fully melted.

Notes

These sliders can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored overnight in the refrigerator before baking. Simply follow the prep and assembly instructions, including the sauce, then cover them with foil and refrigerate until you're ready to bake them. Remove them from the refrigerator and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until cheese is fully melted.

Leftover sliders can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat them in an oven-safe container at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
