Spicy Pepperjack Cheese Sausage (Impression)

Big flavors burst from every bite—these homemade sausages come packed with spicy cheese, jalapeños, and bold smoky spices.

# Liste des ingrédients:

01 - 1/4 cup onion, chopped finely
02 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
04 - 1/4 cup diced jalapeños (leave out seeds to tone down the spice)
05 - 1/2 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
06 - 1 lb pork, ground fresh
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
08 - 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
09 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, adds heat)
10 - 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
11 - Optional: casings for sausage

# Étapes de préparation:

01 - Throw the ground pork, shredded cheese, jalapeños, onion, garlic, paprika, cumin, black pepper, salt, and red pepper into a big bowl. Give it a good mix until everything's combined evenly.
02 - Planning to use casings? Follow the steps on the packaging to soak them in water, rinse completely, and put them aside.
03 - Using casings? Carefully feed the sausage mix into the casings with a sausage stuffer. Secure the ends and twist into links as long or short as you'd like.
04 - Warm up a skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook sausages for about 6–8 minutes on each side until they’ve browned nicely and hit 71°C (160°F) inside.
05 - Give the sausages a few minutes to rest before cutting into them. Pair them with your favorite sides or enjoy them in a bun.
