Ingredients

  • 1 package 100 Calorie Chicken Brat 12 oz.
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tsps olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 package tortilla chips (14.5 oz.)
  • 1 can black beans (16 oz.)
  • 1 can refried beans (16 oz.)
  • 2 tbsps jalapeño pepper slices
  • 1 package shredded Mexican cheese blend (8 oz.)
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder, or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder, or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder, or to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream, or desired amount
  • 1 cup guacamole, or desired amount
  • 1 cup salsa, or desired amount

Directions

Preheat oven to 300ºF (150ºC).

Brown the bratwurst slices in a skillet over medium heat, 10-12 minutes, stirring often; drain excess grease and set the sausage aside.

Melt the butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the onions in the butter and oil mixture, stirring often, until soft and brown, about 20 minutes. Set aside. Spread the tortilla chips onto a baking sheet in an even layer.

Spread the bratwurst slices, caramelized onions, dollops of refried beans, black beans, jalapeño pepper slices and Mexican cheese blend over the chips. Sprinkle with chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder.

Bake the nachos in the preheated oven until hot and the cheese is melted, 10-15 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Top with sour cream, salsa and/or guacamole and serve!

Cher-Make is the only summer sausage I will ever buy! - Becky B.

Every time I visit my parents in Wisconsin I bring home a suitcase full of Summer Sausage, and I make them bring as many sausages as they can fit every time they come visit me. Unfortunately I'm down to my last sausage right now, and I'm months away from another visit. My little girls are going to be so sad without their sausage sandwiches for lunch, and we just can't get anything good out here in California. Keep up the good work, and let me know if you can help us out! - Dave L.

We found Cher-Make hot dogs about five years ago and have not bought any other brand since, the flavor is great! - Shirley D.

We live too far from home to get the good stuff locally. We would like to buy online in 50-100# lots. Maybe larger. Please save us from the inferior products that proliferate the grocery store counters. We need our Cher-Make sausage. - Phil B.

Congratulations on the wonderful "easy to open" packaging on your ring bologna. What a treat to easily open your product. Thank you. - Janet A.

My son Dave lives in Long Beach, CA and I always take Cher-Make beef summer sausage and hotdogs (per his request) in my suitcase when I visit. It's the only type he (and 4 yr old granddaughter) likes. Do you ship directly from your factory? She turns 4 next week, she wants a desk and summer sausage for her birthday from Grandma. - Susan L.

Had your low fat, low calorie Chicken Brats last nite for the first time. They were excellent! - Ken H.

This was the first time I purchased your product. I bought 2 packages of your Homegame fully cooked bratwurst. They were great! We roasted them over our campfire and they tasted wonderful! I plan to try more of your products in the future. I am always glad to support great WI products. Keep up the good work! - Jane M.
