Homemade Breakfast Sausage

This homemade breakfast sausage recipe is delicious and not only is it more flavorful that store bought pre-seasoned sausage but it’s healthier too.  You know exactly what you’re putting into it.  No preservatives, to artificial flavorings, just good old spices.  I just add the spices to some plain ground pork, shape them into patties and fry them up in a pan, no extra fat is needed.  It’s especially yummy to cook some eggs in the same pan with all the seasonings and fat, it flavors the eggs so nicely.  It makes a great fancy breakfast or a quick breakfast for dinner option as well.

I also use this seasoning mixture when I’m making meatballs that call for half ground beef and half pork sausage. Anytime you need sausage just buy plain ground meat and add this homemade sausage seasoning mixture.  It works with any ground meat.  I’ve used it with elk and deer and had excellent results as well.  You could even add it to ground chicken or turkey.

It’s pretty simple.  I love making my own seasoning mixtures, like this homemade ranch seasoning mix, you really can save money and control the quality and purity of ingredients.  Comment below and let me know what sorts of seasoning mixes you make, or would like to see on the website.

Homemade Breakfast Sausage

1 pound ground meat of choice

1 t. salt (I use this brand)

Rounded 1/2 t. of the following:

Onion powder (I like this brand)

Garlic Powder (I like this brand)

Basil

Oregano

Fennel Seed

Pinch of rosemary, sage and thyme (or I just do a pinch of poultry seasoning)

Directions:

1. Place ground meat in a bowl, add spices, mix thoroughly, bare hands work best.

2. Shape meat into patties, I made 6 patties with 1 pound of meat.

3. Cook in skillet on med/high heat until browned on both sides.  Serve with scrambled eggs, toast, a smoothie, juice for a fancy breakfast or a fun dinner.

  1. We make sausage at home all the time! We use a slightly different recipe and I find that making the mix up at night and leaving it in the fridge makes a tastier patty. It sure is nice to KNOW what’s in stuff!

    This is wonderful! Can I be honest? I never thought of making homemade breakfast sausage. I just always pick up the same package at the store. Thanks for the recipe.

    1. No problem, I hope you like it. It’s nice to know exactly what is in your meat, and with this you know you’re not getting any additives and preservatives, let me know how it goes!

  3. That looks really good! Do you think it will work with ground turkey?

    1. Definitely, you could do this with any ground meat!
