HOMEMADE GRILLED BREAKFAST SAUSAGE PATTIES



Homemade Grilled Breakfast Sausage Patties image

I looked and looked at the grocery store for a breakfast sausage that did not include sugar. It was a long and fruitless search, so I decided to make it myself. After a couple of tries, yielding rather bland tasting sausage, I realized that commercial sausage sits with its seasonings and preservatives, and possibly, flavor enhancers, in the grocer's refrigerator case for a long time. When you make this sausage, please don't skip the resting time in the refrigerator, because this allows the seasonings to bloom.

HOMEMADE BREAKFAST SAUSAGE



Homemade Breakfast Sausage image

When it come to sausage there is absolutely nothing is better than fresh homemade!! I especially love this recipe because you know exactly what's in it! We asked our butcher to ground up some boston butts for us and we added the spice. That's another plus, you control the salt, the sugar, the spices and the heat. You are not...

Provided by Diane Atherton

Categories     Meat Breakfast

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Tbsp rubbed sage
2 tsp salt (increase salt if you like it saltier or reduce salt if you are watching your salt intake)
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp dried marjoram
1/2 Tbsp brown sugar (add an add'l 1/2 tablespoon for sweeter)
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (add additional for hotter sausage)
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (eliminate if for a milder sausage)
1 pinch cloves, ground
3 Tbsp pork broth (water will work)
2 lb ground pork (i used ground boston butt)

Steps:

  • 1. Combine spices in a small bowl; add pork broth or water and mix well; set aside.
  • 2. Place ground pork in another bowl and make somewhat of a bowl sharp with the pork. Drizzle spices over pork, mix with hands until well combine.
  • 3. Form into ball, cover with plastic and refrigerate for 12 to 18 hours to allow the spices to meld into to pork. NOTE: there was very little shrinkage when frying.
  • 4. Form sausage patties and fry up for breakfast, or place on a cookie sheet, place in freezer and freeze. Once frozen place patties in ziploc freezer bags or vacuum pack if you have that option.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: Pork shoulder is a good option because it has a good amount of fat, which helps keep the sausage moist. You can also use ground beef or turkey, but they will be leaner and may need to be mixed with some pork fat.
  • Use fresh spices: Fresh spices will give your sausage the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, you can use dried spices, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Mix the meat and spices thoroughly: This will ensure that the sausage is evenly seasoned.
  • Stuff the sausage casings tightly: This will help prevent the sausage from breaking apart when it is cooked.
  • Cook the sausage slowly: This will help the sausage to cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.

Conclusion:

Making homemade breakfast sausage is a great way to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal. With a little planning and effort, you can create a sausage that is perfect for your taste. So next time you're looking for a breakfast sausage that is both delicious and healthy, be sure to try making your own.
