Can I freeze homemade breakfast sausage?

Yes! These homemade breakfast sausage patties freeze BEAUTIFULLY. You can flash freeze on a baking sheet first ( here’s the tutorial for that ) or you can place a small piece of parchment paper between each sausage breakfast patty before freezing. This makes it easier to pull out however many you need from the freezer for that particular meal.

What gives breakfast sausage its taste?

In this breakfast sausage recipe, it’s the variety of seasonings for breakfast sausage that gives the meat that classic sausage flavor. Some homemade recipes also call for light brown sugar, which I do not find necessary for amazing homemade sausage patties.

What is the best breakfast sausage?

My recipe for homemade sausage is hands-down the best breakfast sausage! It’s super easy to make and it’s so much healthier than buying the store bought packaged breakfast sausage patties like Jimmy Dean. I’ve seen corn syrup, MSG, and natural flavorings (all things we don’t want to put into our bodies) on the ingredient labels for sausage from the store.

What is the difference between breakfast sausage and regular sausage?

Breakfast sausage and Italian sausage have different seasonings, but they’re both easy to make. You can find the recipe for Homemade Italian Sausage here .

Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs ground meat (chicken, turkey, lamb, or pork)
2 tsp granulated garlic
2 tsp ground sage
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp celery seed
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp healthy cooking fat (I used coconut oil)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Combine all ingredients except cooking fat in the bowl of a stand mixer OR in a large bowl. Use the paddle attachment and mix on low speed for one minute, or use your hands to thoroughly mix the spices with the meat.
Preheat a cast iron skillet to medium low or a griddle to 350F.
Meanwhile, prepare the patties. Measure 2 oz (or about ¼ cup) of meat and use your hands to form into a tight ball. Then press lightly to create a patty. Place patties on a plate while waiting.
When the skillet or griddle is ready, place a single layer of patties in the pan, leaving an inch or two between each. Let the patties cook undisturbed for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown on one side. You should see cooked meat creep up the sides of the patties.
Flip and continue to cook until they are cooked through, another 3-5 minutes.
Best served warm. Refrigerate or freeze leftovers.

Notes

Be sure to use a little bit of healthy cooking fat – like coconut oil, lard or butter – before you begin otherwise your meat will stick to whatever surface you’re cooking on. That means you’ll end up with ground breakfast sausage, instead of sausage patties. It will still taste good, don’t get me wrong, but it might not be as easy to eat with your eggs.
Since these breakfast sausages freeze so well, I tend to double this recipe. The measurements are easy to halve – or double – if you want to make less or make more.
