Double L Deli Craft Burnt End Links
What it is
These are fully cooked, smoked pork and beef sausage links. They are crafted with a blend of spices and slow-smoked to develop a rich, deep flavor. The links are designed to mimic the intense, caramelized taste and texture of traditional barbecue burnt ends, offering a convenient way to enjoy that popular flavor profile without the long cooking time. They are ready to heat and serve, making them a versatile addition to meals.
How people cook with it
These savory links are perfect for quick weeknight dinners or as a flavorful addition to casual gatherings. They bring a smoky, robust taste to a variety of dishes.
- Sandwiches and sliders
- Pasta dishes
- Appetizer platters
- Breakfast bowls
To enjoy these burnt end links, you can simply reheat them. They can be warmed in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, they can be heated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until hot. For a quick option, microwave them on high for 1-2 minutes, checking for warmth. They are also delicious added directly to simmering sauces or stews to infuse their smoky flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard kielbasa or bratwurst, these links are specifically seasoned and smoked to replicate the intense, slightly charred flavor of actual barbecue burnt ends. The texture is often a bit firmer and more dense, with a pronounced smoky aroma and a rich, savory finish that sets them apart.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and flavorful meat option will appreciate these links.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of these burnt end links promptly. Store them in their original packaging or an airtight container. They will maintain their quality for several days when kept cold in the refrigerator. Do not freeze unless you plan to use them within a few months.
