I didn't use fresh bratwurst, but sliced up the fully cooked style and simmered in beer as directed. Not a lot of fat this way either. Didn't have cayenne substituted Chile pepper instead, used egg noodles, mixed as directed with 1/2 cup cheese, topped with remainder (1 cup) and baked another 5-7 minutes uncovered it was a huge hit!

My family loved this. It makes the kitchen smell heavenly & brought everyone to the table, eager to taste! I omit the cheddar & use Parmesan.
