1
Prepare the Meat Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapenos, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
2
Taste Test the Mixture
Take a small portion of the mixture and cook it in a skillet over medium heat to taste for seasoning. Adjust the jalapenos, salt, or cayenne pepper according to your preference.
3
Stuff the Sausage (Optional)
If using sausage casings, soak them in water for about an hour. Rinse and then stuff the prepared sausage mixture into the casings using a sausage stuffer or piping bag. Twist sausages into desired lengths and tie off.
4
Cook the Sausage
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil if desired. Cook the sausages for 8-10 minutes on each side or until cooked through and browned on the outside.
5
Serve
Remove the sausages from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite sides or on a bun.
