Make the Fried Onion Strips
- Set up a dredging station by adding the buttermilk in one medium-sized bowl and then the flour mixed with the salt and pepper in a 2nd bowl.
- Add the onion strips into the buttermilk and toss to coat. Transfer to the seasoned flour and toss again until fully coated. Shake off excess and set aside on a plate.
- Heat oil to 365°F. Drop the breaded onion strips into the hot oil and cook until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon on a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with a little more salt, if desired. Set aside.
Make the Sliders
- Carefully use a sharp knife to remove the casings from the bratwurst links. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter, or the lid of a jar, or just your hands, to form a pattie from each link. Season lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Use a spatula to place the sliders on the grill over direct heat. Cook for 5 minutes and then flip. The sliders are ready when juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- While the sliders are cooking, butter the pretzel buns (if desired) and place on the grill, cut side down, during the last 5 minutes of grilling the sliders.
- Remove the sliders and buns from the grill and serve with fried onions and warmed beer cheese dip. Let guests build their own sliders if desired.
Notes
- Be sure to seek out all-pork bratwursts. Bratwurst links can be found in the meat department of most well-stocked supermarkets, or at your local butcher. Sometimes they are frozen.
- The beer cheese dip can be made up to 2 days in advance. Gently reheat over medium-low heat until the desired consistency is reached. The sauce is also excellent at room temperature. Reminder: The warmed sauce will thicken somewhat as it cools.
- The fried onion strips can be made up to 4 hours in advance. You can make them a day in advance, and store in an air-tight container, but they will lose some of their crispiness.
- Pretzel buns can be found in the bakery section of most well-stocked supermarkets, or at your local bakery, or ordered online. If you can't find pretzel buns, regular slider buns are still wonderful with these sliders.
- If you prefer to make regular sized burgers, instead of sliders, no problem. Just use 1½ links for each patty.
- The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for feeding a group.
