If you are anything like me, you probably can't have most of the sausages you find in your local butcher shop or supermarket because of the added additives. A small dose of MSG and it will sent me bedridden for the rest of the day with headaches and dizzy spells. Not a pretty site! And sitting at a breakfast table with a spread of juicy breakfast sausage that I can't touch is just down right wrong! So I started playing with recipes on sausages that is healthier and (if you know my cooking style by now) a recipe that does not require visits to several specialty store hunting for special types of seasonings. Quick and easy I always say. This the time I would encourage you to play with your food. Experiment with different spices and seasoning. Change the ratio of heat around until you settle with a family favorite. I promise you, you will be amazed at what a tiny harmless herb will do to a simple ground beef. I've added chopped apples, dried cranberries, nuts, just to name a few. This recipe however, is a favorite of ours. It's simple enough and delicious, and has made it to several of our lunch and dinner menu also.
We hope you will enjoy it too :)
For convenience sake, Obregon Cattle Ranch LLC do offer a breakfast sausage that is skinless and ready to use.
Ingredients
1 tsp dried sage
2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper (freshly ground please, you will notice the difference)
1/4 tsp dried marjoram
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 pinch ground cloves
2 pounds ground beef
Mix all the seasoning, dry ingredients well.
In a large bowl add ground beef to the mixed seasonings together.
You could shape these into patties and pan seared for breakfast.
Or I prefer to roll it up into a log, wrap a plastic food grade wrap around it. Placed it back into the refrigerator and allow all those flavors to marry overnight. The next morning slice it up for a delicious well seasoned breakfast sausage. You can grilled these babies and place it in between some toasted buns too. It will definitely make a tasty hamburger for lunch.
That is it! That is all it takes to turn your ground beef into a happening breakfast sausage!
