Looking for Texas/Elgin Beef Sausage in CA

[TonyT]

Few years ago I got to try the original beef sausage from Southside Market in Elgin and loved it. Great beef flavor and some nice peppery spices. Can't find any near me and all the places in Texas that ship are pretty expensive at around $50 for 5 packs (20 sausages) plus ~$40-$50 to ship to CA.


Trying to get some as good/similar for family and friends to try this holiday season. Any help would be great, thanks!

You mean these?

I found these at my Signature Kroger but maybe an affiliate store in your area carry them or can order them.

I've had the best luck by going to TX and filling up a cooler to bring 'em back. Granted, it's not the most practical option.
That said, I did it last weekend. :whoo:

If you've got the time and inclination, home made beef sausage is pretty dang good and will tide you over between trips to TX. The recipe here is a great starting point and I've gotten great comments on the batches I've made. If you're smoking at low temps by all means throw the proper amount of cure in there.

Other than that, as far as I know, it just takes a bunch of $$.

Sam's has these from San Antonio. Costco has the organic version.

That's good to know. I picked some up last weekend at HEB because they were running a "buy this sausage get 5 things free" sale. Haven't tried the sausage yet, but I think maybe Friday will be the day.
