If you’re looking for a meal that’s hearty, a little spicy, and totally satisfying, these Loaded Sausages with Maple Jalapeño Slaw are about to become your go-to. Whether it’s peak summer BBQ season or you just need a bite of something that feels like sunshine, this recipe brings it all. You start with juicy, mild Italian sausages—grilled, roasted, or pan-seared to perfection—then melt a layer of sharp cheddar right over the top.

But the real magic is in the slaw: a crisp, colorful mix tossed with our Berry & Brine Jalapeño Pickles and a splash of the brine itself for an extra tangy edge. The heat from the jalapeños is bold but balanced, mellowed by just the right drizzle of maple syrup for that sweet-savory finish. Stack it all on a toasted brioche bun, and what you get is comfort food with character—crunchy, creamy, spicy, and deeply satisfying. Fire up the grill, oven, or stovetop—because this is flavor that works in any season.

Mild Italian Sausages (2): Juicy and flavorful, these are the perfect base for your loaded sausages. Go for good-quality ones with natural casings for the best taste.

Brioche Hot Dog Buns (2): Soft, buttery, and slightly sweet, these buns take the dish to the next level. Look for freshly baked brioche buns.

Shredded Cheddar Cheese (1/2 cup): Adds a rich, gooey layer of flavor. Choose sharp cheddar for a bold kick, or mild if you prefer a creamier texture.

Green Cabbage (2-3 cups): Crunchy and refreshing, it’s the perfect base for the slaw. Freshly shredded cabbage works best.

Berry & Brine Jalapeno Pickles (229ml jar): The star ingredient, these pickles bring a spicy, tangy punch to the slaw. Don’t skip the brine—it’s key to the flavor!

Pure Maple Syrup (1 tbsp): Adds a subtle sweetness that balances the heat from the pickles. Choose pure maple syrup for the best flavor.

Mayonnaise (2 tbsp): Creamy and rich, it ties the slaw together beautifully. Use real mayo for a smooth texture.

Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning the slaw to taste.
