Thanks. I forgot to mention that is put some dried pepper (pizza pepper) in the batch in the picture. It was a bit hot so I skipped it the next time.

Nah, use the fondue as sauce for the brats.

Slop some fondue on the roll, place the brat and munch away.

Here the recipe I use for the fondue, it has bacon, too. :high5:

3 cups gourmet blend (4 different Cheddars, I get it at Shoppers) shredded Cheddar cheese, 3 Tbls flour, 1 cup beer (I like an English Bitters), 4 tsps prepared horseradish, 4 tsps dry mustard, 2 tsps Worcestershire sauce, 1 oz Bourbon (Evan Williams is my usual), 3 Tbls chopped cooked bacon, 2 tsps freshly cracked black pepper, 1/4 c minced onions

Instructions: Toss cheese with flour in bowl. Use a double boiler, bring water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and pour beer into the top pot. Stir in horseradish, mustard and Worcestershire sauce using a fork. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.

Add half the cheese mixture and cook until cheese is melted, stirring constantly. Add remaining cheese mixture a small amount at a time, stirring constantly in a circular motion after each addition until cheese is melted. Pour bourbon slowly around the edge of the bowl, making sure to pull the cheese mixture away from edge of pot so the Bourbon is between the cheese mix and the pot. Cook for about 30 seconds or so, then stir the Bourbon into cheese. Fold in bacon, pepper and onion. You can do the standard fondue pot ritual, or use it as a cheesy sauce for Bratwurst.
 
Chili and cinnamon rolls are a mid-west thing, specifically Nebraska thing. They serve this combo often for school lunches! It's kind of like Runza's...If you know, then you KNOW, if not you haven't experienced true culinary diversification.

I thought everyone had cinnamon rolls with their chili until I was well into adulthood.
