HOMEMADE GRILLED BREAKFAST SAUSAGE PATTIES
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.

This homemade breakfast sausage is so simple you'll never pick up frozen patties at the store again. Besides being economical, this sausage recipe is delicious! The "pinch" of heat is just right and the fennel seeds finish off the perfect flavor. We did test this with pork, but chicken or turkey would be great too if you want to...

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 sausage casing: You can use natural casings, collagen casings, or cellulose casings. Natural casings are made from the intestines of animals and are the most traditional type of casing. Collagen casings are made from the collagen protein found in animal skins and tendons and are a popular choice for homemade sausage because they are easy to use and produce a firm sausage. Cellulose casings are made from plant cellulose and are a good option for those who want a vegan or vegetarian sausage.
- Grind the meat and fat properly: The size of the grind will depend on the type of sausage you are making. For breakfast sausage, a medium grind is a good option. If you are making a sausage that will be cooked in a casing, you will need to grind the meat and fat more finely.
- Season the sausage well: Breakfast sausage is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, sage, and other herbs and spices. You can adjust the seasonings to your own taste.
- Mix the sausage thoroughly: Once you have added all of the ingredients, mix the sausage thoroughly so that the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Stuff the sausage casings: If you are using casings, you will need to stuff the sausage meat into the casings. You can use a sausage stuffer or a kitchen syringe to do this.
- Cook the sausage: Breakfast sausage can be cooked in a variety of ways. You can fry it, grill it, or bake it. The cooking time will depend on the type of sausage and the cooking method.
Conclusion:
Making homemade breakfast sausage is a great way to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can create a sausage that is perfect for your taste. So next time you are looking for a new breakfast option, give homemade breakfast sausage a try.
