Ingredients

  • 5 pounds beef brisket untrimmed
  • 1 cup Best Dry Rub
  • 1 large bell pepper minced
  • 1 jalapeno seeds and veins removed, minced
  • ½ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Soak 2- 3 hog casings in water. 
  • Cut brisket into 2-3 inch chunks.
  • Grind brisket chunks through the large setting on a meat grinder.
  • Using your hands, mix ground brisket with dry rub, bell pepper, jalapeño and vegetable oil until well combined.
  • Run mixture back through the grinder on the large setting.
  • Refrigerate mixture while you prepare to stuff the casings.
  • Run water through casing to make it easier to thread onto stuffer.
  • Add stuffer attachment to grinder and thread one casing onto the end.
  • Tie the end of the casing in a knot. Poke the end with a toothpick to allow air to escape when you start to stuff.
  • Place a sheet pan under sausage stuffer to catch the sausage as it forms.
  • Stuff mixture into casings, forming into a spiral and tying the end.
  • Repeat with remaining casings and sausage mixture.
  • Place on a sheet pan and refrigerate until ready to smoke, up to 24 hours.
  • Prepare grill or smoker to 250° with hickory or oak.
  • Cook over indirect heat with the lid closed for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
  • Check with a digital thermometer, cooking until sausage reaches at least 165° or until desired smoke level is reached.
  • Remove from grill or smoker and allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • 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. 
  • To 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.
