If you’re looking for something hearty, cheesy, and made for game day or casual summer hangouts, these Bratwurst Sliders hit every mark. Juicy brats, buttery beer-cooked onions, melty cheddar, and a slather of whole grain mustard tucked into soft pretzel rolls, these are impossible to resist.

The pretzel roll holds everything together with just the right chew, and the cheddar adds a sharp, creamy finish. These are sliders that feel like a full meal in just a few bites.

Helpful Tips

Slice after cooking: Grill the brats whole for the juiciest result, then slice them in half right before building the sliders.
Let the onions cook low and slow: This brings out their sweetness and lets the beer cook off, leaving rich flavor behind.
Warm the rolls: Lightly toast the pretzel rolls for a better bite and to help them stand up to the juicy brats and onions.
