What Makes This Recipe So Good
Take it from someone who knows – this is one amazing BBQ dish. You probably know by now that I’m Memphis-based, and I’m surrounded by BBQ 24/7. So believe me when I say, BBQ sausage and cheese plates are kind of a thing around here. Most local Memphis BBQ places serve them, usually with slight differences in types of cheese and accompaniments. If you’ve never had one of these Southern grazing boards, you’re seriously missing out! Essentially, you’re taking all the deliciousness of a barbecue and turning it into an appetizer. Amazing, right? With a hearty amount of protein and fats, this is a great appetizer or main course for a cookout, a picnic, a Father’s Day lunch, or even just a delicious summer dinner. I love a versatile dish! This is one that really lets you get in there and customize it to all your favorites. A variety of cheeses, a combo of pork and turkey sausage, Club crackers rather than saltines, 2 or 3 different dipping sauces… Anything goes!
Chef’s Tips
This grilling method is a little hands on, requiring you to flip and baste the smoked sausages regularly. Don’t skip it, though! This method gives you a deliciously thick, tangy BBQ sauce coating and really locks in that amazing grilled sausage flavor and texture. It’s really worth the extra work. Don’t want to fire up the grill? No problem. You can cook the sausage in a skillet on the stove instead! You’ll lose that rich smokiness from the grill, but it’ll still be delicious. Don’t skip the BBQ basting, though. It’s a must! Sprinkle the dry rub over everything. YES. EVERYTHING. I can’t even begin to try to explain how wonderful cheese coated in dry rub is. Savory and sweet and creamy and smoky and UGH. It’s amazing.
