How to Make Homemade Breakfast Sausage
If you are cooking the sausage as patties or as browned bulk sausage, I recommend adding a little healthy cooking fat to the pan. This sausage (no matter what kind of meat you choose to use) will be much leaner that typical store-bought bulk sausage.
The ground apple helps keep the meat moist while cooking.
Learning to make your own breakfast sausage is easy. And once you do, the potential for variations is endless.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1/2 c shredded apple
- 2 Tb fresh minced parsley
- 1 Tb fresh minced sage
- 1 Tb whole grain mustard (country style Dijon)
- 1 clove garlic (minced (or grated for stronger garlic flavor))
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (minced)
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp fennel seeds (crushed)
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/8 tsp ground white pepper
- 1/4 tsp Ceylon cinnamon (not typical baking cinnamon)
Instructions
- Place the ground pork in a large mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle all of the remaining ingredients all over it.
- Using your hands, work it all together until it is just combined. Over-working ground meats can make them tough.
- Use the sausage as you wish.
