Ingredients
-
5 fully cooked knockwurst or fully cooked bratwurst (about 1 pound)
-
2 ounces Monterey Jack cheese with caraway
-
2 green onions, thinly sliced (1/4 cup)
-
5 slices bacon
-
5 French-style rolls or frankfurter buns, halved lengthwise
-
Catsup, mustard, and/or pickle relish (optional)
Directions
1.
Cut a lengthwise slit in each knockwurst or bratwurst about 1/2 inch deep. Cut cheese into 5 strips that are 2-1/2x1/2x1/4-inches. Insert a cheese strip and some of the green onion into each knockwurst. Wrap a slice of bacon around each knockwurst. Fasten the bacon with wooden toothpicks.
2.
To grill by indirect heat, in a covered grill arrange preheated coals around a drip pan. Test for medium heat above the pan. Place knockwurst, cheese side up, on the grill rack over the drip pan. Cover and grill for 8 to 10 minutes or until bacon is crisp and cheese is melted.
3.
To serve, place knockwurst in French-style rolls or buns. If desired, serve with catsup, mustard, and/or pickle relish. Makes 5 servings.
Make-Ahead Tip
Stuff and wrap sausage with bacon. Cover and refrigerate up to 1 hour ahead of grilling.
