I'm living in Dallas now and wanting to make a big pot of red beans. I usually add sausage and pickle meat, along with the trinity. Here in Dallas, pickle meat is impossible to find. I've tried using salt pork b/c I see it in the grocery, but it was way too salty. Also it was very fatty. If I can't find pickle meat, which it looks like I can't, what is a good substitute or should I just stick with sausage alone?

make that stuff! google for recipes. If you cut it into chunks first, you can sit in in your pickling liquid for a few days and it'll be ready to go

I would just use smoked sausage, but you could also add in some smoked Boston butt

Don't use salt pork, I used it once and it made my beans inedible

The secret to Salt Pork is to boil it for 30-45 minutes in a seperate pot of water. It takes out the excess salt. All I use in my white beans and I'd take the Pepsi Challenge with anyone.
