Homemade Breakfast Sausage
Once you see how easy (and yummy) homemade breakfast sausage are - and how much better they are for you - you'll never go back to store bought again!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, minced minced (about ¾ c)
- 1 pound ground pork (you can sub in ground chicken or beef) 454 grams
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp oregano, dried
- ¼ tsp ground sage
- 1 tsp brown sugar
Instructions
- In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the onions and cook, stirring often to ensure they don't burn, and cook for about 5 minutes or until they are soft; add the onions to a large bowl and set the pan aside.
- To the same bowl, add the ground meat and the seasoning (salt, pepper, oregano, sage and brown sugar)); mix to combine and form into small patties (I won't give you sizes as you can make them as big or small as you like - mine are usually 2 tbsp per patty).
- In the same pan you cooked the onions, add the patties and brown on each side (the time you cook will depend on how thick you make them); once they are cooked through, serve immediately (they can also be frozen).
