Have you had enough of beer and brats yet this week? How about cheese? No? Good.
All this talk about football this week has me anxious for Sunday’s big game. Not because of the football. Because of the food. And Katy Perry.
I’m wrapping up this year’s Super Bowl posts with a tasty beer brat chili. This is my first time making chili with beer but I like the flavor that comes from the beer and the brats. It’s a slightly different texture from using ground beef but it has all sorts of good flavors.
Here’s what I suggest: topping this off with a bit of cheese and green onions. Perfection!
