What it is
This is a fully cooked sausage made with pork and beef. It is infused with the flavors of applewood smoke and real cheddar cheese. The combination creates a savory and slightly tangy profile.

How people cook with it
This sausage is versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways. It adds a smoky, cheesy flavor to a variety of dishes.
- Grilled for a quick meal
- Added to pasta dishes
- Sliced into breakfast scrambles
- Used in casseroles
To prepare, you can grill, pan-fry, or bake the sausage. Grilling or pan-frying will give it a nice char and enhance the smoky flavor. If baking, place it in a baking dish and cook until heated through. It can also be added directly to simmering sauces or stews, where it will release its delicious flavors into the dish. Ensure the sausage is heated to a safe internal temperature before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain smoked sausages, this variety includes the distinct taste of applewood smoke, which is milder and sweeter than hickory. The addition of cheddar cheese provides a creamy, tangy counterpoint to the smoky notes, setting it apart from unflavored or other spiced sausages.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
