This one brings the heat.
Our Texas Style Hot Links blend is made for bold, spicy, smoky sausage with serious flavor behind the burn. Jalapeño, cayenne, garlic, onion, mustard seed, paprika, and a layered mix of herbs and spices come together to create a hot link seasoning that is fiery, savory, and deeply satisfying.
The heat is balanced with 100% pure maple sugar, giving the finished sausage a subtle sweetness that rounds out the cayenne and jalapeño. We also use yeast extract as a natural savory flavor enhancer, adding rich, meaty depth without added MSG.
Use this blend as-is for a classic spicy hot link, or treat it as a foundation for your own custom sausage. Add cheddar cheese, hot giardiniera, smoked peppers, cubed burnt ends, or other inclusions to create your own signature Texas-style sausage.
This is a premium, high-impact seasoning blend made with quality ingredients and built for sausage makers who want big flavor, real heat, and room to get creative.
