Texas Sausage

[danbono]

Hi All I was thinking of smoking some Texas Beef Sausage. I need a recipe this NOT too hot. Also how to go about smoking them? I have a stick burner * and a WSM 22"

This is with Pork but can't see why some good Fatty Beef would not work. Maybe a Blend?. Cut rhe Red Pepper and Cayenne down to 1-2 teaspoons as these recipes are HOT! The second one is similar but with more Herbs and Spices. Follow Gary's Recipe for Cure #1 and Salt, if not using TQ as in Bigwheel's Recipe...JJ

Bigwheel's Genuine Texas Hotlinks (Revised 11/21/02)

6-7 lbs. Boston Butt
1 bottle beer (Try Shiner Bock)
2 T. coarse ground black pepper
2 T. crushed red pepper
2 T. Cayenne
2 T. Hungarian Paprika
1 T. Morton's Tender Quick
2 T. Kosher Salt
2 T. Whole Mustard Seeds
1/4 cup minced fresh garlic
1 T. granulated garlic
1 T. MSG
1 t. ground bay leaves
1 t. whole anise seeds
1 t. coriander
1 t. ground thyme

Mix all the spices, cure, and garlic into the beer and place in refrigerator while you cut up the meat to fit in the grinder. Pour the spiced beer over the meat and mix well. Run meat and spice mixture through the fine plate and mix again. Stuff into medium hog casings. Smoke or slow grill till they are done. Wrap in a piece of bread and slap on the mustard heavy. Bob Wills music and Lone Star Beer on the side.

Use Tony Chacheries jalapeno salt ...add it to your sausage

 

[murraysmokin]

What is this jalapeno salt...sounds interesting...salt ground with dried jalapeno?

 

[Steve H]

Have you made this before without MSG? Not a question about health concerns. I just don't have any.

 

[Steve H]

And nevermind. The local Wegmans carries Accent. Which is MSG.

Right next to my Stove...Salt, Pepper Mill and Accent...JJ

Danbono -- if you like to use the search feature on this site, you can look up "Elgin" and "Bohunk" and you will find some info on central texas beef sausage from the germans and czechs down that way.

This link is pretty good to get you started, and page two is where you can see likely formulas for you to consider. Enjoy!

Just happened to get a bunch of jalapeno peppers and found a way to make my own salt...dehydrate them then blend with kosher salt...I am in on trying this very soon.

Pick up some already Smoked Chipotles or Moritas, ripe dried Jalapenos, and grind them into a powder. Mix with salt and Boom...Smoked Jalapeno Salt!...JJ
