Spicy Sage Breakfast Sausage

February 26, 2015 Filed Under: Breakfast and Brunch, Main Courses with Meat

This Spicy Sage Breakfast Sausage is nothing more than ground pork mixed with plenty of spices like sage, ginger and pepper. And the best part of making it yourself is you can customize it with the amount of spices your family likes best.

To make the breakfast sausage it was just a matter of blending the spices, mixing it into the meat and shaping them into patties. Or shape it into a tube like you’d buy at the store, wrap in waxed paper and freeze in a zip to lock bag.

Use meat with at least 20% fat. I know you will be tempted to cut that down. DON’T, unless you like dry tough sausage. I know of what I speak (translation: I did it once and the sausage was awful).

Adjust the spice amounts to your family’s taste. I had to cut back on the peppers for Sir Snubs A Lot so I added a bit more sage. I omitted the MSG and only left it in the recipe as “optional” because that’s what his cousin had written. Some people really notice it (my mother for one) and I know a few people with an allergy to it. I don’t knowingly put it in anything.
