Fort Worth smoked jalapeño cheddar sausage · Fort Worth

Coarse-ground beef sausage studded with fresh jalapeño and cheddar cubes, smoked over post-oak until the casing snaps and the cheese pockets melt through the meat. A Fort Worth BBQ counter staple.

Smoked sausage entered the Texas BBQ tradition through the Central Texas meat-market culture of Czech and German immigrants, who brought their wurst-making knowledge to the Hill Country and built an unbroken link between European charcuterie and Texas pit cooking. The jalapeño-cheddar variation evolved as a distinctly Texan adaptation, folding the state's signature fresh chile into the sausage grind alongside tangy cheddar that melts into pockets during the smoke. Fort Worth pitmasters adopted the style with enthusiasm, and Heim Barbecue's jalapeño cheddar link became one of the most talked-about items on their menu.
