Alison's been in New Jersey the past week having fun with her family. We've written about our adventures there before, but this time I'm left behind to fend for myself while she gets to vacation in one of the misunderstood states in the Union.
Luckily for me, a week ago I purchased this awesome bag of Bar M Louisiana Brand Hot Links: Extra Hot.
I don't know under what circumstance I would be able to get Al to eat these for 2 reasons: 1. They are pork. 2. They are marked as hot. Basically she doesn't really like the other white meat and she shies away from the spicier of the food chain. Myself on the other hand, I love this stuff.
Out of the bag of 15 sausages, I am down to 5, so I'm doing pretty good. My favorite way to cook them is to boil the bad boys for about 5 minutes. It gets them nice and hot while hardening the skin up a bit and absorbing up water while retaining the juices of the sausage.
Next, I have a hot skillet waiting for the boiled sausages. Once the boiling is over, they go straight to the skillet at medium heat. Hot enough to leave a little searing, but not too hot to where the skin gets burnt or the sausages pop.
While the sausage gets crisped up in the skillet, I toast two hot dog buns. The whole while the Three Muskateers, mustard, pickles and sauerkraut lie in wait. (Claussen products are the best, but I'll elaborate on that in another post.)
You introduce the fine ingredient to each other ...
Then watch the Lakers or whichever sporting team you follow.
These sausages are pretty damn good, so go try to find some. If you think you can't eat 15 within a reasonable time, then freeze them ya dummy... for your health!

Have you ever tried Bubbies pickles? You'll never eat clausen again.
ReplyDeleteI do the boil then broil. Broiling gets the outter casing really nice and crisp. You just have to be careful the link doesn't pop.
ReplyDeleteBubbies... are they sold refrigerated? Do they snap when you bend them?
ReplyDeleteBoil and Broil... not just a culinary rhyme? I think I may have to give that a shot. If only I could fit one of those sets of rollers in my broiler to keep a slow and even rotation on the cased meat.
Those are my favorite hot links, tried them once and never looked back... Mostly just cook them on the grill
ReplyDeleteI just had a huge clam bake which included BAR M hot links, crabs, shrimp, red potatoes, and fresh corn on the cobs. OMG! It was mega awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI love these but can't find them! Anyone know where to get them on the east coast? I have had them in Cali and have family ship them but I am looking for another way to get them. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteI also have family bring them when they come from Cali but I am looking for a different way to get these in between visits...... Can anyone help?
DeleteHave you ever tried Evergood Lousiana Brand Hot Link Sausage? They used to have them in a costco nearby. Sooo good!
