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!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, minced (about 3/4 cup) minced (about ¾ c)
  • 1 pound 454 grams ground pork (you can sub in ground chicken or beef)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp oregano, dried
  • ¼ tsp ground sage

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); 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).
