Ingredients
- 6 beef sausages: Your favorite brand or type, preferably large enough to stuff.
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese: Or use cheddar, pepper jack, or your favorite melty cheese.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil: For searing the sausages.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder: For extra flavor.
- 1 teaspoon paprika: Adds a hint of smoky warmth.
- Salt and pepper: To taste.
- Fresh parsley (optional): For garnish.
- Toothpicks: To secure the sausages, if needed.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sausages
- Preheat your skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
- Slice each beef sausage lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Gently open the sausages to create a pocket for the filling.
Step 2: Stuff with Cheese
- Fill each sausage pocket with shredded mozzarella cheese. Use a toothpick to secure the sausage if it won’t stay closed on its own.
Step 3: Season and Cook
- Rub the sausages with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place the sausages in the skillet or grill pan, cheese side up. Cover with a lid to help melt the cheese.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, flipping carefully to avoid spilling the cheese, until the sausages are browned and cooked through.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
- Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a pop of freshness. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Choose High-Quality Sausages: A good-quality beef sausage will make all the difference in flavor.
- Don’t Overstuff: Too much cheese may spill out during cooking. A little goes a long way!
- Use a Lid: Covering the skillet helps the cheese melt evenly.
- Experiment with Cheeses: Try a mix of cheeses for added depth, like gouda or Parmesan.
