Notes

Cook the bacon in batches to ensure it becomes crispy and evenly cooked.

Slice the bratwurst sausage at a slight angle to add visual appeal to the dish.

Use a non-stick skillet to prevent ingredients from sticking during cooking.

Pre-slice the onions and mushrooms to save time during the sautéing process.

Grate the cheddar cheese before starting the beer cheese sauce for easy melting.
