I think that's the best sausage I've ever had.

You cook sausage outdoors

Had it with our last crawfish boil. Very good, surprised the hell out of me

I only bought it because it came free at HEB with a bag of charcoal. I'm hooked.

OK, now it must be tried. Plus, was a big EC fan since I grew up with the Oilers, even though he was a tsip.

Ha, glad to see y'all like it so much.

Because...

Wish I could give more than 1 thumbs up/Gig'em emocon for EC's hot links. Those things are delicious.

Our 20 member family had a mystery sausage cook off and Earl Campbell's won. I voted for Burtons garlic.

Much better than hillshire or eckrich, as a comparable meat block. It's a great product.

meat has endorsed ..... EOT

I'm not an endorsement, y'all are the endorsement. If y'all like it, then we are doing it right. If y'all don't, we need to listen. Same with any company.

Do you kids know who makes it?

These have been a staple at our tailgates for at least the last 7 years. They're great in a warm tortilla!

For a true sausage, notneven in my top 10 probably.

But darned if they don't make the best hot dogs you can get. I can't remember the last time we used actual hot dog franks. Wrap them in bacon and it is even better. They are my Memorial Day plan, along with some brisket.

FF: clarify?

Free with a bag of charcoal... The Baylor football ticket model.

Just for fun, what is it y'all like so much? Flavor, texture, bite, juiciness, cost, all the above?

^
Yes

The flavor and spiciness are what i like about it.

But for a sausage, it is way too fatty and therefore too juicy (Personal taste is sausage should be a smidge dry. I tend to associate super juicy sausage with Eckridge and the like - basically low quality brands that are super fatry).

The texture is a little too fine for me personally.

But like I said, they are far and away tje best meat for hot dogs, and they are also great for jambalya as well.

Wish they would make some with cheese.

Schmelba: we make with cheese too, same name with cheese. Where are you shopping and I'll look into availability at that store?

Ok - this thread just went to another level. EC's links come with cheese??? ....mind.....blown,.....do......want......

I live in BCS and shop at the HEB or Kroger south of town, never seen the cheese links.

Meat09 - I love em. I keep trying some of the alternatives, but always come back the Campbell's. It's the right amount of flavor and spiciness compared to others. I'd prefer it be just a tad spicier, and much less salty. It's not a health food for Pete's sake, but I'd eat them more often with less sodium.

I'm not sure I'd say it's the best sausage I ever had, but it's certainly the best store bought hot link/spicy hot dog/sausage (whatever it is) I've had

Very low quality. Pretty much just like eckrich. Disgusting actually.

I am a huge Earl Campbell fan just don't like his sausage.

I've never tried EC's hotlink but I have had Nolan Ryan's hotlink. It is delicious, too. Anyone ever had them?

Meyer's or South Side Market. Opa's is also great.

Love the sausage, when someone else is paying.

I like the quality myself, just not fond of the price.

So the opinions vary from "it's great stuff" to "I might feed it to my dog."

It's the OB, what do you expect? Picky vs. not picky

It is not a premium pork and beef sausage, but for the average consumer it is pretty good. EC is not meant to stand up to a premium sausage, we make those too, but at 2.59/# it is pretty good. I eat it almost daily.

Well Meat09. That explains it.
Need to get by though and pick those rocks up but work got me covered up and then the little one is arriving.

Get them out of my yard, please.

Daily at the quality control.
