    Title: Texas Hot Links
    Categories: Sausages
    Yield: 1 Batch

    5 lb Pork butt; coarse ground
    2 lb Beef; coarse ground
    1 c Water; cold
    2 tb Black pepper;
    - fresh ground, heaping
    2 tb Crushed red pepper; heaping
    2 tb Hungarian paprika; heaping
    1 tb Fresh garlic;
    - minced, heaping
    1 tb Granulated garlic
    1 tb Kosher salt
    1 ts Bay leaves; ground
    1 ts Whole anise seeds
    1 ts Whole mustard seeds
    1 ts Coriander
    1 ts Sugar
    1 ts Ground thyme
    6 ts Mortons Tender Quick
    1/2 ts MSG

    After much experimentation and help from numerous sources I have
    stumbled over the exact formula for genuine Texas Hotlinks. Goes
    something like unto this:

    Mix all the spices, cure, and garlic into the water and place in
    refrigerator while you grind the meats.

    Mix up the meats then add the water to the meat mixture a little at a
    time, kneading to combine. Run meat mixture through the coarse plate
    one more time and stuff into medium hog casings.

    Smoke or slow grill until they are done. Wrap in a piece of bread and
    slap on the mustard heavy. These things are so good the godless left
    wing liberal commie pinko democrats will probably try to make them
    illegal. So if your [sic] going to make some... do it soon.
