Homemade Pan Sausage Recipes

BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a small, bowl, combine the sage, salt, ground black pepper, marjoram, brown sugar, crushed red pepper and cloves. Mix well.
• Place the pork in a large bowl and add the mixed spices to it. Mix well with your hands and form into patties.
• Saute the patties in a large skillet over medium high heat for 5 minutes per side, or until internal pork temperature reaches 160 degrees F (73 degrees C).

BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Combine diced pork with all other ingredients and chill for 1 hour. Using the fine blade of a grinder, grind the pork. Form into 1-inch rounds. Refrigerate and use within 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. For immediate use, saute patties over medium-low heat in a non-stick pan. Saute until brown and cooked through, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

SAUSAGE AND VEGETABLE SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place broccoli, baby potatoes, carrot, and onion in a large bowl. Pour in olive oil, mustard, Pecorino Romano cheese, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat, then spread vegetables in an even layer on a sheet pan. Arrange sausages in the pan, pushing aside the vegetables so that the sausages touch the bottom of the pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven, flipping sausages and vegetables halfway through until sausages are no longer pink in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

HOT PORK PAN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In large mixing bowl add all ingredients except meat and mix well. Add meat and combine with seasoning mixture by kneading, folding and turning like bread dough. Mix until meat is uniformally seasoned but do not overwork or it will start to emulsify.
• Cover and chill in refrigerator several hours or overnight.
• Divide meat into desired portions (a 1/4 cup dry measure makes 2 oz by weight of this meat mixture) and form into patties ( a 2 1/2" cookie cutter ring forms a nice 2 oz patty).
• Put the patties on a parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze.
• When frozen transfer the patties to freezer bags and store in freezer until ready to use.
• To cook thaw and pan fry until done.

HOMEMADE PAN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix all ingredients together. Divide into 8 equal portions and form into individual patties. Cook or freeze for later use.

SHEET PAN DINNER WITH SAUSAGE AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup and spray with cooking spray.
• Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add potatoes and toss to coat. Place potatoes skin side-down on the baking sheet in a single layer.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, 23 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven; stir.
• Mix remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, onion flakes, paprika, parsley, and oregano in the same bowl. Add sausage, green beans, bell pepper, and onion; mix until well combined. Add to the baking sheet; spread in a flat layer.
• Roast until vegetables are tender and potatoes and sausage pieces are browned, tossing halfway through the roasting process, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

HOMEMADE SAUSAGE SEASONING BLEND

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients together in a spice grinder or mini-food processor (or you may also just stir together if you like some chunkier bits of fennel in your sausage).
• Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
• To use, mix with 1 pound ground meat.
• Chill seasoned meat 3 hours before using.
• Or you may also use this in any recipe calling for sausage seasoning.

BREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Melt butter in 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook celery and onion in butter 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Remove Dutch oven from the heat.
• Gently toss celery mixture and remaining ingredients, using spoon, until bread cubes are evenly coated.
• Use to stuff one 10- to 12-pound turkey. Or to bake stuffing separately, grease 3-quart casserole or rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches. Place stuffing in casserole or baking dish. Cover with lid or aluminum foil and bake at 325°F for 30 minutes; uncover and bake 15 minutes longer.
