Homemade is best!
I think anything homemade tastes so much better than store bought. I am such a believer in trying to make as many foods homemade as possible. The taste is amazing and it’s always so much healthier for you to go the homemade route. These breakfast sausage patties are no exception! The flavors in this sausage are so delicious, and yet it’s so easy! It’s basically just a bunch of spices mixed with ground pork. How simple is that? Now you have no excuse but to make breakfast sausage from scratch! The spices that we use in this awesome recipe are:
dried sage salt ground pepper marjoram sugar red pepper flakes ground cloves
These spices combined with the sausage meat make it so flavorful and better than any store-bough patties!
How to Make Breakfast Sausage
MIX. Combine all of the spices in a small bowl and mix well. Put the ground pork into a large bowl and add the spices to it. Make sure your hands are clean and mix the spices into the ground pork. Your hands will really be the best tool for this! FORM. Once everything is combined, form the sausage into patties. You can make them as big or as small as you want them to be. COOK. Heat up a large skillet over medium high heat. Sauté each patty on the skillet for 5 minutes on each side. The internal temperature of pork should be 160 degrees F. Check to make sure your patties are at this temperature and then they are done! Note: You can also just cook the sausage without forming circles to use in any recipe. Just keep in an air-tight container to store and use. For our go to Breakfast Sandwich recipe, CLICK HERE.
