- Wrap It In Bacon. Trust Us.
Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeños and Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Brat Bombs bring the heat and the applause.
If you are baking them at home, a common approach is to bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the filling is heated through. Some like to add a pinch of cayenne for extra kick.
Helpful tip: Line your baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup.
- Let the Brats Shine.
Indeed, brats are a staple main dish. But have you tried them as an appetizer? Our Crescent-Wrapped Smoked Mini Cheddar Brats are a bite-sized crowd pleaser. Smoky, cheesy, and golden brown, all wrapped in a flaky crust.
Serving suggestion: Pair them with mustard, beer cheese dip, or both for a delicious combination.
- Stuffed Mushrooms, Elevated
If you are looking for something a little more refined, mushrooms are your friend. And at Miesfeld’s, we have taken them up a notch.
Try Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Mushrooms with a seasoned cream cheese filling, or go bold with Brat and Onion Stuffed Mushrooms, featuring our Grand Champion brat meat.
At home, many people bake them at 375°F for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the mushrooms are tender.
Helpful tip: Give mushrooms some space on the pan so they roast instead of steaming.

We’ve done the prep so you can focus on the fun. From Italian Sausage-Stuffed Mushrooms to Bacon-Wrapped Breakfast Sausage, our ready-to-cook appetizers are built to impress with minimal effort.
Serving suggestion: Choose a few different kinds, pop them in the oven, and let the aroma bring people to the kitchen. Add some dipping sauces, such as barbecue, ranch, or honey mustard, to round it out.
