Picked up a package of beef cheek meat at Sam's the other day, $1.96/lb, looked like it had quite a bit of fat so I thought I'd use it to make some Texas hot guts. But researching it on the Internet, sounds like it might have a pretty strong flavor.

Do you think it's OK to use in sausage, or should I just go ahead and use it to make some Barbacoa, which it what it sounds like it's meant for.

Most of the recipes I've found for hot guts call for Pork & beef. And like Pags said, cow head for the ultra traditional barbacoa, but since you can't get it at most places and you're probably not going to dig a hole in the ground, beef cheek or a chuck roast as a last resort.
