Created specifically to celebrate the annual German festival, 7-Eleven's new Smokey Cheddar Sausage is a delicious take on a savory Bavarian sausage. The new dish consists of a Johnsonville sausage that's been smoked naturally with hardwood chips, studded with real cheddar cheese, and then paired with a pillowy soft bun. Naturally, the sausage can be dressed with your choice of condiments, including mustard, fresh onions, melted nacho cheese, and more. Plus, members of the 7Rewards and Speedy Rewards programs can earn an exciting 200 bonus points when they purchase a Smokey Cheddar Sausage. The new Smokey Cheddar Sausage can be found now at participating 7-Eleven, [Speedway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7eleven-seasonal-menu-items), and [Stripes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7eleven-game-day-grub) stores nationwide.
