Co. Fair Italian Sausage & Spaghetti

[Smokin Don]

Oct 30 2016

I was anxious to cook tonight’s supper.  When I was at my butchers the other day one of the Kah brothers gave me some sausage to try. He said he was trying for the taste of the County Fairs Italian sausage and wanted me to try them. I think you will find a version of this at about any County or State fair, Italian sausage links grilled with peppers and onions in a sandwich. We usually opted for the whole hog sausage patty sandwich at our County Fair.

I had spaghetti with Newman’s Own Sockarooni sauce, a salad and garlic knots. Our son and family came to eat with us.

I smoked the sausage for 45 minutes at 200 deg. on my Traeger then browned them up on my Weber Spirit. I had blue cheese dressing on my salad and some Maille mustard for the sausage.

The son and I both liked the sausage. I think he had cheese in them and I didn’t care so much for that and could have stood a little more green pepper taste. It still was pretty good sausage.

Don, my wife is the best cook I know, but I want to eat at your house every other night. 

That county fair sausage with onions and peppers is the only reason I go to the fair.  I don’t know what it is about it, maybe the fennel, but it is always great.  My local purveyor’s is so good that I tracked him down 3 or 4 years ago and was able to buy 3-pound spools for $12.  Three of those get me through the year.

Nice cook!
