    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

    • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

    • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

    Directions

    • In a skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned. Ensure the sausage is fully cooked, then drain any excess fat.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
