Breakfast Sausage

Homemade breakfast sausage is so easy and will taste 100% better than anything you’ll find at the grocery store!

Breakfast sausage from scratch tastes so fresh and delish. I can be used in my tasty recipes such as Sausage Breakfast CasseroleTater Tot Breakfast Casserole, Bacon Breakfast Pizza, and Cheesy Sausage Dip.

Homemade Breakfast Sausage

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 Patties

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.

Storing Tips

To STORE these breakfast sausages for a later time, just wrap them up in tin foil or plastic wrap and keep them in the fridge. The will last for 5-7 days.

To FREEZE them, keep them wrapped and put them in a freezer bag. They will last about 2 months in the freezer. Take them out for a quick breakfast on the go. Great for making with breakfast sandwiches!

    great recipe, I love sausage and sausage breakfast patties too, never made them just ordered them, by the way, these should also be made into burgers, seems like breakfast stays in the port domain, lunch or dinner in the beef world, but either or would work well for me, thank you for this recipe

    I don’t know if I goofed up or what, but this was way too salty (reason for only giving it 4 stars). The flavor was delicious though. I wound up using the sausage for biscuits and gravy. The gravy calmed the saltiness down. Will I make it again? You bet I will!!!
