Cheese and Onion Stuffed Sausages

Peter J's Note:

Nice quick way to spriten up some plain beef sausages. I'd personally always go with natural cheese rather than processed for something like this but other pizza style cheeses like mozzarella would be good for a variation.

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 6 (70 g) beef sausages
• 50 g cheddar cheese
• ½ small onion

Directions:

1. Par-boil sausages for around 10 minutes in boiling water, drain and allow to cool just a little.
2. Finely grate cheese and onion together in a small bowl.
3. Cut a slit down the middle of each sausage for around 2/3 of the length that goes half-way through.
4. Press equal amounts of the mixture well down into the sausage.
5. Transfer to a hot BBQ / grill and cook around 10-15 minutes over a fairly moderate heat (without turning for obvious reasons).

A great way to tart up sausages. Really moreish and very quick and easy. I used 100% pork sausages. I won't post the photo as the current one by The Flying Chef is devine. Thank you Peter J for posting such a simple and easy way to serve sausages.

My butcher only had sausage patties so instead made a topping vs. stuffing. By no fault of the recipe or chef, but by my personal taste the sausage was very rich to be cooked on the grill. I had never had sausage cooked this way and am acustomed to having sausage in sauces, not just grilled. I would like to try this on keilbasa or hot dogs because the cheese/onion mixture was very good.
