How to Make Texas Smoked Hot Link Sausage Recipe

LET'S START

Quality Ingredients Matter: Start with fresh beef and pork, quality spices, and natural casings for an authentic flavor profile. 

Balancing the Meat: Combine equal parts beef and pork, ensuring a well-balanced blend of flavors and textures. 

Spice It Up: Use a mix of paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic, and black pepper for that signature heat and smokiness. 

Mix and Marinate: Blend spices into the meat mixture, then let it marinate for at least 2 hours for maximum flavor infusion. 

Natural Casings: Soak hog or sheep casings in warm water to soften, then slide them onto your sausage stuffer. 

Stuff with Precision: Load your seasoned meat into the stuffer and carefully fill the casings, avoiding air bubbles. 

Slow and Steady: Smoke the sausages for 2-3 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature until they're beautifully browned.
