I tried to make this a few weeks ago, but it didn’t quite work out the way I was hoping it would. This time it turned out just the way I was hoping. If you like, you can add some saltines and a little extra cheddar cheese. This would be great to take in a thermos for an outdoor outing. And don’t worry about the alcohol from the beer, it’ll cook off before you eat it.

12 oz turkey brats or smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 inch slices
2 large potatoes, diced
1 large onion, diced
1/4 cup garlic, minced
1 12 oz can light beer
2 cups low sodium beef broth
4 cups milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup cheddar cheese

In a large pot, cook the brats, potatoes, onion, and garlic until the potatoes are almost tender. Add in the beer, broth, and 3 cups of the milk. Whisk the cornstarch into the remaining cup of milk. Mix...
