    Brisket Smoked Sausage is the most incredible beef sausage that is so simple to make at home. Ground brisket mixed with our favorite brisket rub, green peppers and a bit of jalapeño is a flavor combination that is a whole new level of deliciousness.

    We love making homemade sausage from venison and pork but this beef sausage is definitely the best we've have ever tried. It's slow smoked and it's a great addition to casseroles, soups, shrimp boil packets and our Meat Lovers Charcuterie Board.

    How to Store and Reheat Brisket Smoked Sausage:

    Wrap smoked sausage in 2 layers of plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 4 days. 

    To freeze, wrap in 2 layers of plastic wrap and a layer of foil or vacuum seal for the best protection from freezer burn. Freeze up to 6 months. Thaw in refrigerator. 

    Reheat smoked sausage: place in a skillet with a few tablespoons of liquid (water, broth or beer) and cook over medium heat, covered for about 5 minutes.

    Sides for Brisket Smoked Sausage

    Garlic Rosemary Potatoes

    Savory potato wedges turn out tender and fluffy with tons of flavor. One of the easiest side dishes you can make on the grill.

    Grilled Corn on the Cob

    We love making foil packet corn on the cob. Add in a quick garlic butter and it is likely to steal the show at your next cookout.

    Grilled Garlic Bread

    A quick and easy side for any meal. Garlic bread cooks up really fast on the grill while your meat rests before slicing.

    Grilled Zucchini

    Our family can't get enough of this grilled zucchini. It's seriously simple and so delicious. A great addition to any meal.

    Step up your grilling game by making your own sausage. It's really pretty simple to do and it's easy to customize to your tastes and spice level. Like it hot? Just add a few more jalapeños. We like ours on the mild side but it still has plenty of flavor.

    I have to admit our kids thought that we had lost our minds by turning brisket into sausage. Smoked brisket is just about our favorite food and why mess with the best?  Well, it was pretty fun to try and the flavor was even better than we expected. It has its own flavor, and is definitely worth trying.
