There are so many sausages to choose from in a Texas supermarket. You won't see these sights in a Florida grocery:
Most of the brands come from sausage makers in Texas. The out of state brands fill maybe a third of the open coolers.
But there's more.
Take a walk across the floor.
The chorizos are located separately.
Apco, Garcia, Hill County Fare, San Luis, and others are packed in floor to ceiling.
Back to mesquite!
When I cook with a mesquite smoked sausage, I try to keep things simple. I want to use fewer ingredients. Less salt, less or no black pepper. I may even skip the onions altogether.
Mesquite smokes sausage is a meat I can eat straight. It doesn't need any help.
I picked out the store brand: HEB Mesquite Premium Smoked Sausage.
Normally, I would offer a link, but I couldn't find one. This is a fine product, but HEB has so many store brands, they don't bother to list them all individually.
This first dish is a simple dinner. I slow-grilled a split mesquite-smoked sausage link and paired with with some baked beans topped with a thick slice of grilled onion.
The bread is multi-grain toast with whole cooked cranberry. No butter. No salt. No dessert.
It looks pretty! Don't it?
Buen provecho!
