Hi friends! Sausage isn’t something we eat on a regular basis, but it’s always nice to have as an option for breakfast. I’ve been having a hard time finding a store bought sausage that didn’t have 20 ingredients (most of which I can’t pronounce). So, homemade sausage for us!
This sausage recipe is quick to throw together and extremely versatile! I used pork but you could easily trade it out for turkey, chicken or a combination of different meat.
Simply place your pork and the herbs into a large bowl and use your hands to make sure it’s well combined. Then, form your patties. I like to use a cookie scoop to ensure I get the same amount of meat into each patty.
The patties will shrink just a bit as it cooks, so keep that in mind when determining how big you want them.
My mood really deciphers how I cook these guys. The traditional way to cook them is on a skillet or griddle with a bit of oil. This method gives the outside of the sausage a lovely golden brown color and a slight crunch when biting into it.
However, if I’m feeling lazy and don’t want to clean oil splatters on my stove, then I’m not above just putting them on a baking sheet and throwing them into the oven! Baking them allows me to make a whole batch at one time and focus on other aspects of breakfast.
My husband and I both prefer the texture of sausage that has been cooked on a skillet, but either cooking method will you give you yummy, flavorful sausage patties.
These are fabulous served alongside my coconut flour waffles or pumpkin pancakes! I also like eating them as a snack with some cheese and fruit. Hope you enjoy!

- 1 lb ground pork
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp dried rosemary
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- 1 tbsp coconut or olive oil
Place the ground pork in a large bowl. Mix all the spices together in a small bowl before adding them to the pork. Use your hands to combine.
Shape into equal sized patties. A cookie scoop helps with dividing the meat evenly.
Heat oil in a large skillet and cook the patties in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each side for 4 to 5 minutes and until the internal temp reaches 165F.
Drain on a paper towel and serve warm.
**If baking in the oven, preheat to 425F. Place the patties on a parchment lined baking sheet and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until the internal temp is 165F**
Cooked sausage patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can freeze the patties raw, then cook as normal once thawed.

These look mighty tasty! The addition of paprika just makes my mouth water! I might have to try these this weekend!
I just started a keto diet and I’m increasing my protein content in the morning. But the store bought stuff is so full of crud ingredients. Thanks for the homemade recipe.
You’re welcome Katherine! Hope you enjoy!!
I can’t eat sausage every morning for breakfast. I WANT to eat sausage every morning for breakfast. The scale and cholesterol tests dictate otherwise. This recipe does look super simple and something I am going to try.
What an easy recipe and it looks so delicious! I’d love this for a weekend breakfast!
I’ve never made homemade sausage before and I’m not sure why, because it’s such a good idea! You’ve inspired me to give it a try! It’s much simpler than I imagined and the spice blend you looks sound so tasty!
Wow these look delicious! My daughter craves meat like there is no tomorrow so I’m gonna have to give these a try and see if I can fulfill her meat dilemma!
Haha! Hope she enjoys!
Oh wow! I would have never thought to make my own sausage. My family would love to have these for breakfast soon!
My daughter loves sausage for breakfast. I love how healthy this recipe is. I can’t wait to make these for her. They look fantastic. Thanks for the recipe.
What a great recipe! Simple and easy and that is what breakfast should be all about. Beautiful use of spices and I love that you added paprika in you recipe.
Thank you Heather! The paprika gives it a very subtle little kick.
I am the biggest dried spice fan and my pantry is stocked full of spices that I love to use. I love to season otherwise bland meat. I bet this will be a hit for Mother’s Day!
I have always wanted to make my own sausage, and yours looks great! Especially with those pancakes!
Breakfast sausage is an indulgence for us, usually because we just don’t have big breakfasts. I love how simple this recipe is! It would be easy to freeze into small portions to use in a quick pinch. Love that it doesn’t have eggs too!
Yum, this sausage looks amazing! I always thought it would be so hard to make, but your recipe sounds easy!!
It’s very simple and much healthier then pre-packaged sausage!
Yum yum yum! I cannot wait to try this recipe! Breakfast is especially hard to find, as you said, when you’re looking for minimal ingredients. I love the idea of the baking sheet too – most of the time I shy away from homemade sausage patties because of all the work…! Baking is definitely a motivator for me. Thanks for the recipes!
You’re so welcome Jennifer! Yeah, there are mornings when I don’t mind standing in front of the stove making sausage and then there are other mornings when I just don’t want to deal with it. lol! Baking is a great option! Hope you like them!
