Johnsonville Beddar with Cheddar Smoked Sausage
What it is
This is a fully cooked, smoked sausage made with pork and beef. It contains real cheddar cheese, which melts throughout the sausage during the smoking process. The cheese adds a distinct flavor and a slightly softer texture compared to unchested varieties. It is pre-seasoned and ready to eat after heating.

To heat, you can pan-fry slices until browned and heated through. It can also be grilled, baked, or added directly to simmering sauces and stews. Since it is already cooked, the goal is simply to warm it and develop a pleasant exterior texture. For a quick meal, slice and serve it alongside your favorite sides or add it to a simple rice or pasta dish.
How it differs from similar foods
The inclusion of real cheddar cheese is its primary distinction. This imparts a creamy, savory flavor and a different mouthfeel than plain smoked sausage. The cheese melts and can sometimes ooze slightly when heated, contributing to its unique character.
Who it is for
