Leftover Chili Cheese Bratwurst

Published May 24, 2026

It's Okay

It's not bad. Maybe if I would have just like nuked the chili beforehand instead of sticking it in the oven just for that to be the warm factor and then have the bread inside the oven to toast it a little bit. I think this was a flop, but still tasted good, but might have to try to remake this in a different way.
