Death by Bratwurst

Serves 5.

5 fully cooked bratwurst
2 ounces pepper jack cheese
5 bacon slices
2 green onions
2 green bell peppers
5 French rolls

Cut a lengthwise slit in each bratwurst about a half-inch deep. Cut cheese into five narrow strips and insert into slits. Wrap a slice of bacon around each, fastening at each end with wooden picks.

On a preheated grill, place brats cheese-side up, cover and grill for 5 to 10 minutes until bacon is crisp and cheese is melted.

Cut onions and green peppers in long slices, place on the grill and dab with olive oil; cook 5 to 7 minutes.

Serve brats in French rolls with cooked onions and peppers on top.
