The Cheese is Built In
The key is starting with cheddarbest sausage. In Pennsylvania, Smith's is the brand of choice. If you're not local, any cheese-infused, smoked sausage will work.
Food Safety Tip
Just be sure the sausage packaging indicates they are already cooked and safe to consumer out of the package.
★ Ingredients You'll Need ★
You'll need just 3 ingredients plus toothpicks to hold everything together and make serving easy as well.
Here's what you'll need:
- Smith's Cheddarbest sausage. Or another brand of cooked sausage with cheese.
- Whipped cream cheese. I find this is easier to work with than a block of cream cheese since you can scoop it, but block cheese works too if that's what you have.
- Pickled Jalapeño peppers. The small ones in the jar work best so you may need to do a little digging to find the perfect size. For that reason, get a decent-sized jar.
★ Tips & FAQs ★

To tone them down, you can quick pickle them by placing slices in a bowl along with a heavy splash of vinegar (any kind works) and a big pinch of salt. Toss to combine. Allow to pickle for at least 10 minutes before using.
