Traeger Smoked Sausage Recipes

JALAPEV±O CHEDDAR SMOKED SAUSAGE RECIPE | TRAEGER GRILLS

Steps:

• Soak your hog casings in water according to package directions. While casings are soaking, make your sausage.
• Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Be careful not to overwork, the meat should be a little tacky and all spices fully incorporated.
• Place sausage mixture in your sausage stuffer and proceed to stuff the casing according to manufacturer's directions. Be sure to stuff the length of the casing, then create the links afterwards. Use caution not to overstuff or they will burst when you go to create the links.
• Hang the sausages and allow to air dry at room temperature for an hour or so, then transfer to the refrigerator to dry overnight.
• When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 180℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available.
• Place the sausages directly on the grill grate and smoke for 2 to 3 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 155℉. Enjoy!

SMOKED SAUSAGE BITES

Steps:

• Slice the sausages and heat a cast iron pan or a flat top griddle over high heat. Brush a thin coat of vegetable oil or cooking spray on the pan, and toss the sliced saucsage in.
• Brown for 3-5 minutes on both sides.
• Preheat your Traeger or other pellet grills to 350°. Place the browned sausages into a grill-safe container, and cover with barbecue sauce.
• Place onto the grill, uncovered, and grill for 30 minutes over indirect heat.
• Remove and serve with toothpicks to a hungry crowd.

SMOKED SAUSAGE AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat smoker to 275 degrees
• Slice sausage into 1" thick dials and cut cabbage into quarters or 8 equal pieces (more, smaller pieces will yield more tender cabbage)
• Put wedges into 9x13" aluminum pan with sausage surrounding them. (if adding onions sprinkle those in now too)
• In a bowl whisk together olive oil and seasonings. Pour on top of cabbage and cover pan with foil.
• Cook for 20 minutes, then lift foil and rotate cabbage to other flat side, cook for another 20 minutes, then remove foil and cook for 40 more minutes uncovered. (note: this timing is for quartered cabbage, if you cut it smaller it may take less time)
• Check and see if it's as tender inside and browned on outside as you'd like it to be, remove and enjoy immediately for best taste and texture.
