Earl Campbell's Hot Links
Our Uncle is friends with Earl Campbell and was sent a bunch of Earl Campbell’s HOT LINKS in the mail, which we were lucky enough to enjoy. When they had us over to try them, we loved them and even passed on a pack to our Texas friends and they loved them too (they are a bit spicy so you have to enjoy that). So we set out to order a bunch more but this time with cheese: Hot-n-Cheddar Links! The packs are quite large so we split a shipment with friends. The links are pretty great to have in the freezer and pop out to make these tasty and easy dishes below.
You can eat these sausages grilled or cooked on the stove top with some sides but we also found three other recipes that worked really well with these links. One is an easy stew from Bon Appetit and the other is an easy Jambalaya Recipe.
UPDATE: The shipping costs are pretty high for these sausages but from our research it says that the Fremont, CA Walmart carries them!
Earl Campbell’s Sausages in these easy recipes:
- Easy Jambalaya Recipe
- This is a great weeknight dinner, super easy, fast and it will impress the weeknight crowd for sure, this is not a complex flavored true jambalaya – it is the weeknight, fast version. Serve with a salad.

I’d forgotten about this grilling recipe (super awesome and easy) that we’d discovered summers ago while living on the coast of North Carolina. I remember thinking the ingredients were extensive at the time. When I found the same recipe again this week (at the request of my best friend who was visiting) I was startled at just how few ingredients the original recipe took. So my next step was to question the effectiveness of the simplicity to these tasty kabobs and I researched and found a recipe with a bit more swath of spices. Below I’m including the down and dirty easy kabob version from Martha Stewart’s Good Food Everyday (tastes almost as good) and the bit more extensive version. These kabobs would be tasty with an almond, currants, and cilantro rice on the side.

We made these stuffed peppers from a whole variety of peppers that we had in our CSA food box. The peppers came out looking beautiful and were fairly fast to create. Don’t forget to cover them in foil when you bake them so that they come out steamed and moist. Kellie has a “Camp Stuffed Peppers Recipe” where you grill them in stead of baking, check it out.

The balsamic glaze looks like chocolate syrup and the cheese is a bit disguised amongst the fruit and ice cream in this recipe. The disguised ingredients make this dessert feel like a new discovery for the palette!

The Padron Peppers look similar to jalapenos but have a very different flavor. We picked them up at the SC downtown farmers market on Wednesday from Oso Velloso Farm. They are pretty cute and great for a bite size accompaniment. We pan fried them in olive oil to a soft-ish texture, blackening the skin and then sprinkled them with some course sea salt. You can grab a stem and take a mild-pepper bite. I have heard that one in ten are hot but I haven’t landed one yet!

Our friends Cort and Sharlene who live in Ohio always have the best appetizers and drinks. This is a new one they made for a party I attended this summer and they passed along the recipe. They describe it as a great tailgating snack, it’s fall so that will work!
I googled this recipe and it is all over the Internet. There are many different combinations of ingredients that you can use for fillers such as:
•Sun-dried tomatoes & basil
•Jack cheese & cilantro
•Chorizo & cheddar
•Crab meat, cheddar, lemon juice, dijon mustard, & cumin
•Cooked shrimp & prosciutto
Let us know if you come up with a good combo that we should try.
Here is their recipe
6-12 Jalapenos
1 (8 ounce) packet of cream cheese, room temperature
1 packet of French Onion Soup Packet/Mix
1 package of Bacon
Toothpicks
Preheat your grill.
Cut off the stems of the jalapenos and remove the seeds. Cut a slit on one side of each jalapeno. Mix the cream cheese and your filler together (French Onion Soup Packet). Then stuff the jalapenos with the mixture. Don’t overfill. After they are stuffed and the halves are pushed back together, wrap a piece of bacon around it and secure it with a toothpick.
You may want to use a drip pan in your grill. Grill, covered over direct heat for about 5-7 minutes per side.
