Homemade Breakfast Sausage Made Easy

Nothing can get us out of bed on a Sunday morning faster than a full breakfast spread. Especially when it includes a batch of homemade breakfast sausage. Making your own breakfast sausage not only offers a delicious start to your day, but it also allows you to tailor the flavors to your liking and ensures that you know exactly what goes into your food.

Why Homemade Breakfast Sausage?

Crafting Homemade Breakfast Sausage with PS Seasoning

Now that we've explored the benefits of using a pre-mixed seasoning blend, let's walk through the process of crafting homemade breakfast sausage using PS Seasoning's blend of choice.

Ingredients:

• 25 pounds ground pork (or turkey, chicken, or beef)
• 1 package PS Seasoning breakfast sausage seasoning blend
• 2-3 cups ice water (optional, for mixing)
• 1 package Natural Sheep Casings (optional; for links only)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meat: Start by grinding your meat or placing preground meat of choice in a large mixing bowl. If using lean meat like turkey or chicken, you may want to add a bit of fat to ensure a juicy sausage.

2. Add the Seasoning: Sprinkle the entire package of PS Seasoning breakfast sausage seasoning over the meat. Use your hands to mix and evenly distribute the seasoning throughout the meat.

3. Mix Thoroughly: Add 2-3 cups of cold water or apple juice to help bind the seasoning to the meat. Mix everything together until the seasoning is fully incorporated and the meat becomes tacky.

4. Shape the Sausage: Once the seasoning is mixed in, it's time to shape your sausage patties or links. You can use your hands to form patties of your desired size or stuff the sausage into presoaked sheep casings.

5. Cook: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Cook the sausage patties or links for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they're golden brown and cooked through. If using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).

6. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, serve your homemade breakfast sausage alongside your favorite breakfast staples like eggs, toast, and hash browns. Enjoy the delicious, savory flavor that you've created right in your own kitchen!

In Conclusion

Making homemade breakfast sausage is a rewarding activity that allows you to take control of your breakfast routine and experiment with flavors to your heart's content. And with pre-mixed seasoning blends, the process becomes even easier, ensuring that you can enjoy delicious, homemade sausage without the hassle.
