I stopped into the meat department and bought Eckrich® Smoked Sausage and then off to the beverage department to load up on Dr Pepper®. Why Eckrich Smoked Sausage?

It has the rich and savory flavor that I wanted to pop through in my Smoked Sausage Quesadillas. You can either grill it, or cook it on the stove top as I did to add in some protein to my homegating menu.
