BACON WRAPPED CHEESE STUFFED BRATS

Steps:

• Pre-soak 10 toothpicks in water for at least an hour.
• Slice each brat lengthways, but not all the way through. Then cut a mozzarella cheese string stick in half lengthways, and place it into the brat.
• Wrap two slices of bacon around the whole length of each sausage. Secure each end of bacon with a toothpick.
• Place each brat cut/cheese side down on the grill. Because of the natural curve of the brat, the center will be the hardest to cook, so you may need to press down to get the bacon to crisp up.
• Once that side is cooked, flip it over. Continue to cook, and this time you may need to press the curled-up ends down onto the grill.
• Carefully remove the toothpicks, then you can cook the remaining two sides.
• If you like, make a simple spicy ketchup by mixing a little chipotle powder into the low carb ketchup.
