Ingredients

• 4 large sausages (your choice: bratwurst, Italian, or smoked)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 sesame seed hamburger buns
• 1/4 cup yellow mustard
• 1/2 cup dill pickle slices
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Toothpicks, for stacking

How to Make Cheesy Sausage Stacker

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. While the grill heats up, season the sausages with salt and pepper. Grill the sausages for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 160°F.
3. During the last few minutes of grilling, sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the sausages. Close the grill lid to allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
4. While the cheese is melting, toast the sesame seed buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
5. Once the cheese is melted, carefully remove the sausages from the grill. Assemble the stack by placing one sausage on the bottom bun, adding a layer of pickles and mustard, then topping it with another sausage. Repeat until you have a tower of deliciousness.
6. Secure each stack with a toothpick to keep everything in place. Serve immediately and watch them disappear!
