The packages in my photo say 2021 because I wrote up this recipe back then but apparently never "published" it.
Making your own breakfast sausage can be an excellent way to cut costs in your grocery bill AND control what is going into your family's food.
It's important to use a "fatty" cut of pork. Something with at least a 80/20 fat content or even 75/25. Pork butt roast and nice, fatty pork steaks are just about perfect to these ratios so are the best options.
Now, this recipe calls for grinding the meat yourself, but if you don't have a meat grinder you can always use pre-ground pork or even ask your butcher to grind up the pork butt or steaks you choose. Just mix the seasonings into the meat and leave refrigerated 12-24 hrs before using.

Steps

  1. 1

    Add the smallest qty of all spice ingredients (everything but the meat) to a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and grind mixture to a fine powder.

  2. 2

    Cut meat into 1 - 2 inch chunks. Place in a large bowl. Sprinkle half of the spice mixture over the meat and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hrs and up to 24 hrs.

  3. 3

    Set up your meat grinder for a fine grind. Pull meat out of refrigerator and pass through your grinder. Add remaining pre-ground spice mixture to the ground meat and gently mix to combine.

  4. 4

    Make up a small test patty to taste for seasoning. Cook over medium heat For about 5 minutes per side, or until patty is cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning of raw mixture as desired with additional fine ground spices.

  5. 5

    Portion out meat for freezing:
    Patties - form into patties roughly 2-4 oz in size. Lay out in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place in freezer until patties are frozen solid. Cut parchment around each patty. Stack patties 2-3 high with parchment layered between. Place in freezer bags, label, and return to freezer.
    Bulk - divide into 3 equal portions, place in freezer bags, seal, label and freeze. You can also vacuum seal portions.

  6. 6

    To cook:
    Patties can be thawed first or cooked from frozen. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
    As bulk ground - let thaw completely. Cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking up to a crumble as you go. About 15 minutes. Or you can form into patties and cook as you would the pre-formed patties.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
