These Bratwurst Sliders are made with juicy brats, buttery beer-cooked onions, melty cheddar, and a slather of whole grain mustard tucked into soft pretzel rolls. It brings bold, beer-infused flavor to the party in a perfectly snackable size.

These mini sandwiches stack grilled brats, caramelized onions, sharp cheddar, and mustard onto soft pretzel rolls for the kind of bite that disappears fast. They’re simple to make and loaded with everything you love about a backyard brat, only slider sized.
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.
