Until I fell upon this recipe, I had never heard of Muesli before, but I sure glad I did! It is delicious! This makes an excellent filling breakfast, but I can imagine it would work well for lunch or a power-snack too. It can be made ahead of time, even. This was adapted from a similar recipe in Jan 2011 All You Magazine.

Ingredients

1 package (12oz or more) of Andouille sausage

1/2 tsp garlic powder
Sprinkle of red pepper flakes

-- pour two bottles of bear in a medium Dutch oven and bring to a boil
-- Peirce the sausage and brats and add to the beer. Turn the heat down and simmer 10 minutes
-- Remove sausage and cool slightly
-- Reserve the sausage-liquid in a bowl and set aside
-- Slice the sausage into disks once they are cooled
-- Add the bacon to the pan and cook over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set on paper towels to drain.
