Barbecue Smoke Sausage

We had a small family party for Super Bowl Sunday. We made some old family favorites this year. We made Muffalettas, Barbecue Smoke Sausage and Peppered Cheddar Dip. Mom has been making these Barbecue Smoke Sausages for years. She would bring them to potlucks, parties at friends, and I remember them being at a lot of New Year's Eve celebrations. Both my sister and I have brought them to different events.

I asked Mom where the recipe came from as we prepared them. She said she just made it up. She went on to say that the caterer at their wedding had served something very similar and it was a huge hit. So that is where she got the idea for the recipe. We made half of the recipe for the Super Bowl. The sausage came from Bergeron's. It was their pork and beef smoke sausage. It was very good, lots of pepper flavor. We ate them with toothpicks, but there is plenty of veggie packed sauce if you want to serve it with rolls.
