Johnsville Brats from She Speaks

She Speaks sent us coupons to redeem for Johnsonville Brats. They, also, sent us a few recipes to try. Here is one we made:

Spicy Sausage Queso

1 pkg. (16 oz.) Johnsville Sausage or Brats
2 lbs melting cheddar cheese, cubed
1 jar (16 oz) chunky Salsa
1 tbsp fennel seed, crushed
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. anise seed crushed
1/4 tsp. dried basil

In a skillet, cook sausage; drain and slice. Place cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on until melted, stirring as it melts. Stir in salsa, seasonings and sausage. Microwave 2 minutes longer or until thoroughly heated. Serve with Garlic Toast. Yummy and easy.
