I like to make several of them ahead of time and enjoy them throughout the week! They reheat beautifully in the microwave. Savory breakfasts can be just as good as sweet ones, and this beef sausage is the proof! Served with eggs, these sausages are perfect for breakfast or brunch. They are delicious and filling, and you can make them in advance and reheat them. To make these sausages, simply mix ground beef with seasonings, shape the mixture into patties, then cook the patties in olive oil for a few minutes.
Instructions
Recipe Card
Ground beef: I use lean ground beef (85% lean and 15% fat). A leaner mixture will be too dry. I experimented with a 90/10 mix, and it wasn’t as good. To season: Kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried sage, and red pepper flakes. Olive oil: I use it to fry the patties.
Combine the beef with the spices, and use your hands to mix everything together. Divide the mixture into four large patties or eight small ones. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to four days in an airtight container. Sometimes, I serve these sausages for dinner with just about any side dish, such as roasted Brussels sprouts or mashed cauliflower. They also pair well with salads like creamy cucumber salad or tomato salad. I also enjoy them cold with Dijon mustard or sriracha mayo, fresh-cut veggies, and quick pickles or pickled red onions. Sometimes, I have one of these patties in a cloud bread sandwich and pretend I’m eating a burger!
