Garlic Smoked Pork Sausage

Southside Market & Barbeque ships its famous sausage nationwide on Goldbelly! While Texans love this premium pork sausage, their Louisiana neighbors will tell you that it is also a staple in French, Creole, and Cajun cooking. Containing just the right blend of spices and that extra kick of garlic, Southside Market’s Garlic Sausage can be enjoyed by itself or incorporated into any French/Cajun recipe. For an Italian twist, try substituting your hamburger meat with this excellent sausage next time you make homemade spaghetti or lasagna.

“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.
