Original "1882" Hot Beef Sausage

Southside Market & Barbeque ships its famous sausage nationwide on Goldbelly! This is the sausage that started it all and is Southside’s original recipe. A one of a kind, all Beef sausage with a natural pork casing. The Southside Market 1882 Recipe is heavily seasoned using spices that were available during the era of Southside’s creation over 125 years ago. It is slowly smoked over local Texas Post Oak today, just as it was then. Best if prepared over a wood fire, it is also great on any BBQ pit or grill. A sausage that has stood the test of time and can proudly stand alone as the main attraction.

“Butcher today, deliver tomorrow.” That was Southside Market’s mantra in 1882 when the first cuts of meat were sold from founder William Moon’s wagon. Without refrigeration, the unsold fresh cuts of meat were preserved by smoking and, in true German tradition, spiced to make sausages. It wasn’t long before these “hot guts” became famous, with people all over coming to Elgin, Texas, to sample their smoked sausages. The decades rolled by and while Southside Market’s owners changed, their dedication to crafting the best sausages in Texas did not, which is why nearly a century and a half since that first cut of meat was sold, Elgin is known as the Sausage Capital of Texas.
