BBQ Sausage & Cheese Plate #10DaysofTailgate

Toss aside those cocktail weenies and serve up some smoky sausage, tossed in BBQ dry rub seasoning and served with sharp cheddar and spicy pepperjack cheeses.

This isn’t your regular sausage and cheese plate. Toss aside those cocktail weenies and serve up some spicy, smoky sausage. Smoked sausage gets grilled and then tossed in BBQ dry rub seasoning and then paired with sharp cheddar and spicy pepperjack cheeses. Sprinkle some more dry rub on the cheese while you’re at it and serve. Dipping sauce optional. Deviled eggs are also a nice touch but not required. I whipped up a few regular deviled eggs but seasoned them with spicy mustard and sprinkled dry rub instead of paprika on top. Yum!
