Cheesy Macaroni-Infused Sausages

The Dickey's Barbecue Pit Mac & Cheese Sausage is Handcrafted

— May 19, 2023 — Lifestyle
The Dickey's Barbecue Pit Mac & Cheese Sausage is a handmade menu item arriving to coincide with barbecue season that's sure to satisfy consumers with a penchant for the comfort food. The sausage features the brand's original Kielbasa sausage recipe that's made with smoked brisket, spices and real macaroni and cheese to put a new spin on a classic. The sausage balances the smoky flavor with the macaroni and cheese, which works well on its own or as a pairing with your choice of additional nibbles.

The Dickey's Barbecue Pit Mac & Cheese Sausage is being offered at participating locations and purchased in-store, online or via the brand's app. The limited-edition sausage will only be available from May 22 through August 30, 2023.
