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 also make a great snack alongside some fruit cheese! Hope you enjoy!
