Hempler's Bacon & White Cheddar
What it is
This is a specialty sausage product that combines the savory flavor of bacon with the sharp, tangy taste of white cheddar cheese. It is typically made from pork and seasoned to complement both the meat and the cheese. The cheese is usually incorporated throughout the sausage, creating pockets of melted goodness when cooked. It offers a rich and satisfying flavor profile that appeals to those who enjoy classic bacon and cheese combinations.
How people cook with it
This sausage is versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple breakfasts to more elaborate meals.
- Breakfast patties
- Burger topping
- Appetizer bites

To cook, you can pan-fry the sausage over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level. It can also be grilled or baked. For pan-frying, place the patties in a skillet and cook for several minutes on each side, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning. The cheese will melt and become gooey as it cooks. It’s excellent served alongside eggs or as a component in other dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain bacon, this product offers the added dimension of white cheddar cheese, providing a creamy and sharp counterpoint to the smoky, salty bacon flavor. The cheese melts during cooking, creating a richer texture and taste experience than standard bacon alone.
