re: Favorite smoked sausage for red beans and rice

If around Baton Rouge or the AP, Alexander’s/Murray’s makes a really good smoked sausage and it’s a little smaller diameter than some of the others, which I like for red or white beans, gumbo or jambalaya.

Veron’s and French Settlement Sausage are both pretty good options found in most local grocery stores if you can’t get out to Acadiana, or at least across the bridge to Bergeron’s or Benoit’s

Always stock up on Kartchners sausage when I come down for a LSU game and if I’m ever out then I usually grab Down Home at the store.

I have gotten it at the Rouse's on Drusilla. Great in any kind of beans. I think French Settlement is pretty good for being one easy to find.

Manda is gross IMHO.

I put smoked hocks in my red beans

I always use ham hocks in red beans. Bergeron's in Port Allen are excellent and their andouille is, too. I also throw in tasso. I like Kermit LeJeune's or the Mowata Store's.

For sausage, Teet's, Bourque's, Paul's in Ville Platte, and Mowata Store are my top picks.

**Teet's is the best smoke sausage for gumbo.

I picked up Green Onion Smoked Sausage, Andouille and Tasso a couple days ago.

This stuff is delicious and so well balanced. It is all i use

The fat in the ham hock melts and the remaining salt pork meat is tender and moist.

Another vote for Conecuh !!!

---

I’m from Louisiana but live in Alabama. To me Conecuh tastes the best cooked on the grill. I love grilled Conecuh on a hotdog bun. Damn it’s good. Especially the one that is smaller in diameter. But for Cajun dishes like red beans and rice or gumbo, a dish that simmers for hours, I prefer the ones made in Louisiana. They don’t get mushy. Conecuh taste good in jambalaya though to me. When cooked in the right application Conecuh is tasty.
