<\/p>\n Let\u2019s up our summer grilling game by whipping up a batch of our grilled Brats with Peppers and Onions.<\/em><\/strong> Did I mention there\u2019s a luscious provolone cheese sauce involved? <\/p>\n Juicy grilled brats piled high with sweet, smoky peppers and onions, then drenched in a silky, garlicky provolone cheese sauce \u2013 brats were meant to be eaten this way. It\u2019s the kind of spring\/summer dinner that screams backyard grilling meets stadium food\u2014but whispers let\u2019s not bore our guests. <\/p>\n Brats.<\/strong> Obviously. like to use a brat here over a hot dog simply for stability. Use your favorite local brand or go with good ol\u2019 Johnsonville<\/p>\n Peppers.<\/strong> I prefer the color and sweetness of red, yellow and orange peppers but green will also work. <\/p>\n Spices.<\/strong> I like to season the peppers with a little smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and onion powder. <\/p>\n Cheese<\/strong>. Sharp provolone is my favorite since that what I use on my phillys. If provolone isn\u2019t your thing, a mild cheddar could work. <\/p>\n Butter + flour.<\/strong> You\u2019ll need this combo to thicken the sauce. <\/p>\n Milk<\/strong>. For a richer texture, use whole milk. <\/p>\n Grill the brats<\/strong>. Do you need my help here? <\/p>\n Grill the peppers and onions.<\/strong> Add the peppers and onions to a large piece of foil. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder and onions powder. Toss the onions and peppers with the spices. Fold the foil over and make a little pocked by folding the edges in. Place on the grill next to the brats. Cook for 7-10 minutes until softened <\/p>\n Make the sauce<\/strong>. While the brats, peppers and onions grill, make the sauce. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minutes. Slowly whisk in warm milk, making sure it stays smooth Bring to a gentle simmer until slightly thickened, about 3\u20134 minutes.Turn heat to low and stir in the provolone cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n Serve! Place the brats in the buns. Drizzle with sauce. Pile peppers on top. Drizzle with more sauce. Grab a napkin and enjoy! <\/p>\n \t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tSubstitutions \t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tTips and Tricks for Recipe Success![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.cookingforkeeps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Brats-with-Peppers-and-Onions-Web-7.jpg\")
