Matt & Dana Hot Sausage - 4 lbs

I ordered 2 gallons of these and 2 gallons of Matt and Dana's Spicy Smoked sausage. I opened the Hot Sausage first and they are there! I don't think you can get closer to the OLD Penrose flavor and I have been looking trust me. I ate my first Penrose in 1972 at Lola's pool hall in Clay City, IL. If the Spicy Smoked ones are any better I may have to shoot myself in the foot to keep from dancing. Keep up the good work. I will be buying more. Coop

This product is the closest thing I have found to the discontinued Penrose Hot Sausage. You will not be disappointed.

If you liked Penrose Red Hot Sausage this the closest brand I have found so far, you wont be disappointed. No tough casing which is a waste to begin with.

I bought two one gallon jars of the "HOT" pickled sausages. They are very good, however, they are not "HOT". They are not even medium. I love the taste but I am very disappointed that they are not "HOT". I guess I will just have to give these away and try another brand. BUMMER

The sausages have a moderately intense pickled flavor, spicy but not hot in the way hot peppers such as jalapeno's or habernero's and such are. I find them rather pleasant to wolf down right out of the jar, and they go well with the following items: Chocolate Strawberry Milkshake, Potatoes Au Gratin, Pretty much any salad you can dream up, particularly potato or macaroni salad, and tossed salads with more of such items as: tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, radishes, bread & butter pickles, any cheese, nuts, and grapes or raisins. The sausages also lend themselves to macaroni & cheese, as well as imparting an interesting twist to Minestrone and soups along those lines. The pickle juice works wonders for many foods, and I like to cook with it or use it instead of vinegar for making salad dressings.

This is a fond memory from my past when we went with my dad years ago to the local tavern and they had them setting on the bar. Me and my sister have been looking for these for ever.Going to order and bring back some of my best memories of my dad.

I used to go to the local Skating Rink in my hometown and they used to have hot sausages up on the snack bar. I used to get a few with my friends and we love the way they tasted. When the rink closed down I tried to find some hot sausages that tasted just as good but no hot sausage ever fit the bill.. They were either too chewy because they left the skin on or they has too much texture. Finally I found this site and Matt and Dana's Hot Sausages and their Pickled Smoked Sausages and I am hooked! They are perfect! A little softer than the Smoked versions but still amazing! I will come back here for LIFE!!! GO HOT SAUSAGES!!

Thank you for a fond memory from my past when i went with my dad years ago to the local tavern and they had them setting on the bar i would get them crackers a pop a hand full of ouarters and leave me alone. it was some of my best memoryes.

I had bought a gallen jar of the hot sausage and i do want to say that they were ok..For me they were not hot enough..I had to cut up two jalapeno's and put it in the jar of sausage to get it to how i like it..but over all they were ok and yes i will be ordering them again,and yes i will still add my jalapeno's to it.......I guess in louisiana were they are made they don't eat hotter food then we do in arizona.....
