Description
A bold and smoky Texas BBQ medley featuring brisket, and sausage alongside baked beans and creamy coleslaw. Slow-cooked and seasoned to perfection, this spread captures the heart of Texas flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 pounds beef brisket
- 4–6 smoked sausage links
- ½ cup BBQ dry rub (brown sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne)
- 1–2 cups BBQ sauce
- 3 cups baked beans
- 3 cups coleslaw
- Pickles and red onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat smoker or grill to 225°F using oak, hickory, or mesquite wood.
- Generously rub brisket, ribs, and sausages with BBQ dry rub. Let rest for 30 minutes or overnight.
- Place brisket and ribs on smoker grates. Insert meat thermometer into brisket.
- Smoke for 6–7 hours. Wrap brisket after it reaches 165°F internal temp.
- Add sausage during the last hour of cooking.
- Remove meats when cooked: brisket at 200–205°F, ribs tender and pulling from bone, sausage at 160°F.
- Rest all meats for 30 minutes. Warm BBQ sauce and prepare sides.
- Slice brisket, portion ribs and sausage, and serve with baked beans, coleslaw, pickles, and onions.
Notes
- Use a water pan in the smoker for moist heat and better temperature control.
- Spritz meats with apple juice hourly to maintain moisture and enhance bark.
- Let meats rest before slicing to retain juices.
- Make rub and sauce ahead to deepen flavor.
