Chilli Cheese Kransky

Description

The Chilli Cheese Kransky takes the classic Central European double-smoked sausage and loads it with fiery chilli and generous chunks of cheese. It is a sausage built for people who think a kransky should have something to say — heat, richness, smoke, and plenty of personality in every bite.

The double smoking lays down a deep, savoury foundation that can hold its own against the chilli. The cheese, threaded through in pieces rather than blended in, melts into rich, gooey pockets as the sausage cooks. The coarse grind keeps the texture hearty and substantial — this is not a soft, homogenised sausage but a proper butchery-made kransky with real bite.

Whether grilled whole and tucked into a crusty roll, sliced into a winter stew, or pan-fried alongside eggs for a weekend breakfast, it is a sausage that works hard and tastes even better. Just remember: low and slow is the rule. High heat burns the outside before the cheese in the centre has a chance to melt.

Quick Facts

• Type/Cut: Double-smoked coarse-ground pork sausage with chilli and cheese
• Key features: Double-smoked, chilli-spiced, cheese chunks throughout, coarse grind, made from Australian pork
• Best for: Grilling, pan-frying, BBQs, in a bread roll, sliced into stews and casseroles
• Flavour/texture: Deep smokiness with a spicy chilli kick and rich, melty cheese — coarse grind gives a hearty, satisfying bite
• Prep notes: Cook low and slow — high heat burns the outside before the cheese melts. Do not pierce the casing.

Why You'll Love It

• Double-smoked for deep, savoury flavour that stands up to the heat of the chilli and the richness of the cheese
• Proper chilli heat that builds rather than overwhelms — spicy enough to matter, balanced enough to enjoy
• Melty cheese chunks threaded through every sausage — not blended in but left in pieces that melt into gooey pockets as it cooks
• The coarse grind gives it real substance and bite — a proper butchery-made kransky, not a soft supermarket snag
• Incredibly versatile — grill it for the BBQ, pan-fry it for breakfast, slice it into a stew, or tuck it into a fresh bread roll

Cooking Tips

• Cook over low to medium heat only — a scorching-hot grill or pan will burn the casing before the cheese in the centre melts.
• Do not pierce the casing — the melted cheese and chilli juices need to stay inside. Poke a hole and you lose the best part.
• Grill whole, turning occasionally, until the skin is golden and blistered and a gentle squeeze tells you the cheese has softened.
• Pan-fry with a splash of water and a lid for a few minutes to steam through evenly, then remove the lid to crisp up the skin.
• Let them rest for a minute after cooking — the cheese and chilli juices inside are molten and will be extremely hot.

Serving Ideas

• In a soft white roll with sauerkraut, sharp mustard, and a scatter of crispy fried onion for a classic pub-style feed.
• Sliced into a creamy potato and bacon chowder — the smoky, spicy sausage adds depth that transforms a simple soup into a meal.
• Add Chilli Cheese Kransky to your next order for a sausage that brings heat, smoke, and cheese to the party.
