LHS Episode #153: Pack a Ladder

Once again, time has gotten away from us. We're so busy with traveling, projects and so forth that we're finding it hard to get the episodes out. We're still recording them on schedule, just the releases are a bit erratic. We still do our live streaming so if you want to catch up quickly, come visit with us on Monday nights when we record. Lots of great stuff in this episode, though. Please enjoy.

Segment 5 (Cheryl’s Recipe Corner)
Since football season is upon us in the US, folks here like to party on Game Day. Tons of friends over to watch the game… and eat. While I have not tried this recipe, a friend sent it to me and said it was excellent. So we’re passing it along to you.
Beer and Brats Nachos Recipe
1 package (14 ounces) fully cooked smoked bratwurst links, sliced
2-1/4 cups frozen pepper and onion stir-fry blend
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
2-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 cup beer or beef broth
12 cups tortilla chips
In a large skillet, saute bratwurst for 1 minute. Add stir-fry blend; cook 3-5 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Set aside and keep warm. In a large bowl, combine cheese and flour. In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in beer; heat over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan. Reduce heat to medium-low; add a handful of cheese mixture. Stir constantly, using a figure-eight motion, until almost completely melted. Continue adding cheese, one handful at a time, allowing cheese to almost completely melt between additions. Arrange tortilla chips on a large serving platter. Spoon cheese mixture over chips. Top with bratwurst mixture. Serve immediately. Yield: 12 servings.
