What is your go to sausage on the grill, smoker, whatever?
Praseks smoked pork sausage midget links, about as big around as your finger. So Good!

Opa's jalapeño and chedder or south side market.

HEB jalapeño

Johnsonville has a brat about the size of a hotdog and they are very good as well.

Their hatch chile sausage is awesome. I'm being enjoying Holy Smoke sausage lately.

Like me some J-ville Beer Brats, smoke them, put on a Martins potato roll with some mustard & chow-chow mmm, mmm good!

Their 3 pepper & cheese is good too.

I might write chow-chow, but I would’ve ever say it out loud...it just sounds half ghey.

Venison chipotle jack links from Kuby’s.

Place in the next town makes sausages. Always get a jalapeno, bacon and cream cheese version.

Your obsessed with ghey Sawhorse, should we be concerned?

You had me at venison chipotle

I buy these for breakfast sausage.



The rest I make myself.

I don't like the way the green palmolive smells. I like the blue better.

Are you internet bullying me?

These chicken apple are my favorite so far.

My favorite is Usingers, out of Milwaukee, WI. Next runner up is Fishers in Muenster, TX.

Fishers has some amazing brats, wieners, and knockwurst.

Get yourself some pretzel buns, Dusseldorf mustard, beer of your choice, and enjoy!

No chow-chow?

No sir...I was raised the only thing on a brat is mustard. Chow-chow belongs on sandwiches, not brats.

no way!

I am adding chow chow to the list of items not allowed in my house.

Chow chow and green palmolive.

For a quickie this is a good pc. of link (in any of several flavors but this and just Regular are the usuals) and also what I use in gumbo and pinto beans:



But here for more specialty and boudain :Better sausage and my boudain

Hardest part is putting rub on all that sausage

Homemade venison polish links.

You eat sausage with dish soap?

It's better than a pretzel.

You shut your gaping pie hole!

How dare you!

Meyer's.

Eckrich has some that size and they are delicious cooked in the Air Fryer!

The skin pops when you bite it!

Opas off the supermarket shelf are pretty dang good

Got a freezer full of Oryx sausage, sticks, salami and jerky from Cinnamon Creek so will be eating on this for quite some time.

Are these packaged, or behind the meat counter. The sausages behind the counter at Central Market are terrible. Dry as a bone, and very little flavor.

Opa's Hatch/Green Chili

HEB Jalapeno

I make my own boudin and sausage and that's what I use 90% of the time, My favorite commercial sausage (for the grill) is Slovacek's bbq seasoned links. For other uses Conecuh sausage out of Alabama is downright delicious.

Syracuse

Packaged

Yup. They used to only have them during their hatch season but have them all the time now.

What the hey is wrong with chow-chow? Cabbage, green maters, peppers, cukes, onions all chopped up, pickled sweet or sour, mild or hot. Delicious! Bunch of haters I tell ya!

I’ve been getting 40 pounds of jalapeño cheese venison links from the Mennonite processor at Lake Fork. Best in the world.

Down Home or deer sausage we make

Geez Dad! You know Mom makes all the important decisions!

Best Italian sausage by far but I rarely see it in Texas

I tend to agree. I can do better than that.

Opah's is good. I agree that Conecuh is very good.

And I'll eat the shize out of some chow-chow.

Olfen Tx. Fall Festival sausage. We buy enough until the next year. Haven’t found a decent store bought yet.

Nothing beats tailgate with a hatchet sausage.

Skills

Fischer's

We have these a lot. We like the jalapeño cheddar ones. I prefer a true brat, though, and Johnsonville makes some good ones. My wife found some at Whole Foods that were all different flavors, but I can’t remember the name of who makes them. They are really good.

The best jalapeño and cheddar sausage I’ve found is at Buccees. It’s in their cooler by the jerky counter. It’s excellent.

Kiolbasa brand smoked and Pollok’s wedding sausage, which are available at HEB, or Granzin’s fresh garlic sausage are my go to for grilling or smoking.

Chow chow is some of the best stuff ever invented. Almost as good as boobs, sun dresses, or low rise pants

Anything that BO-HONKS make......

That's right elcoyote. So delicious. Buy all of mine at the farmers market in Fayetteville, buy a case at a time as well as my favorite salsa aptly named Ole'

I like them all but hot links are my favorite and Earl is a sure bet.

I hate when they put cheese in sausage. Why do they do that? If you need to cut the heat from a jalapeno by adding cheese, then you don't need to be eating jalapenos.

Just when I think we can be friends.

I am also in the no cheese camp.

Never have I thought the cheese in jalapeño cheese sausage was to cut the heat. I always thought it was because cheese makes everything better.

It is bacon that makes everything better. Not cheese. And is seems they only put the cheese in jalapeno sausage, so cutting the heat was just my guess.

Just imagine if they replaced that cheese in your jalapeno sausage with bacon. I'm getting a tingle up my leg just thinking about that.

I thought they had a place in Ponder...

Some things just don't need bacon. Sausage is one of those things.

I will usually make one 25# batch Jalapeno'/Cheese every year and give 99% of it away. The normal cheese to meat ratio is 10%. I use 5% and still don't care for it. Friends and family seem to really like it and I enjoy doing it, otherwise it'd never see the inside of my smokehouse. This batch had 5%hi-temp pepperjack.

The reason I quit posting drunk, is because I made really stupid comments like this.

Looks delish!

Looks 95% delish!

The cheese, right?

Bacon ends and venison makes great sausage

Not surprised by this^ at all.

Bacon also makes everything better. There are plenty of options with cheese that don’t also contain jalapeños. A bacon and cheddar brat would be incredible and someone needs to get on that.

But cheese and bacon making everything better isn’t mutually exclusive. Both make everything better.

You are way way off on this one, Duck Hunter. Add cheese on any of the following, and you will ruin it: cinnamon rolls, cookies, green beans, blackeyed peas, SAUSAGE.

Bacon on anything in that list...

I studied your list. Yeah, Duck Hunter is still right...all would be improved with cheese.

I’m guessing you also like to mix mint with chocolate.

that stuff is on a long list of things I won't put in my mouth.....I suspect connoisseurs of it are not as selective about putting things in their mouths

Yep, word around occupied Mexico is that elcoyote will put anything in there. I’m not judging, just providing an example from real-life that supports your statement.

Duck Hunter is wrong, and he really needs to apologize for making the internet a dumber place.

Me too

BAM

You’re a borderline old, so someone will be along shortly with your tapioca and a bedtime story.

Agreed. A lot of cheese might even make black eyed peas edible.

Has anyone heard of or know where to find Texas Beef Rings. They were made by Harlan Wright Jr. and sold by Taylor's Dressed Beef until they went out of business a few years ago. They were a fresh beef sausage that you had to smoke or grill and they were seasoned with a ton of pepper. Some people at a family reunion in Weatherford that I fed called them hotgut sausage. Now all I can find are the Elgin beef and they won't sell them directly by the case unless you are buying a pallet full.

Never heard of them but they sound awesome and would be made better by adding cheese.

I make smoked sausage with bacon, cheese, and jalapenos in it. It's good chit.

Southside market , Elgin , sold at Walmart

Oh yeah, I remember

Riverside if I was closer..

Whatever 407 sells.

I was spoiled on great sausage growing up in Muenster, Fischer's and H & W ( now Hess Meat ) had some great sausages, also about every family there makes there own, them Germans know how to make sausage.

I don't care for cheese or bacon in my sausage. Jalapeno is good. Same reason these are gross:

Whenever I get back home I load up. and don't forget the Dusseldorf Mustard!

And some at HEB

You two should go get a COVID test. I hear loss of taste is one of the first symptoms.

I just had opas hatch chili sausage, dang it’s good

Mikulik Sausage

If you've never tried this then you're missing out. Probably the best sausage I've ever tried.
