Homemade Breakfast Sausage {sugar free!}

All it takes is 5 minutes to make this all-natural Homemade Breakfast Sausage recipe with all of the flavor and none of the additives, preservatives, or sugar! 

A healthy homemade breakfast sausage recipe

When you need a healthy breakfast idea, this sausage fits the bill!  No need to go to the grocery store anymore for the premade stuff.

This sausage is made with all-natural quality ingredients with lots of herbs and spices in it and no bad stuff added.

Like yucky sugar, MSG, and other things with names no one can pronounce.

It’s gluten free, low carb and approved for Paleo, Keto, and Whole30 eating plans!

I used ground pork in this recipe, but any type or mixture of ground protein can be used. 

I’ve substituted ground turkey, chicken, and beef and you can even try a more unusual kind of meat, like venison or bison.

To make it interesting, I like to switch up the proteins each time I make this recipe for variety. 

Some weeks, when I want to eat lighter foods, I’ll make it with ground turkey or chicken. 

One time I made an extra spicy pork and beef combination and it was the best!

Can you freeze sausage

Yes you can, so make extra! This breakfast sausage recipe can be made ahead of time and successfully frozen for later use. 

Just shape into patties and place squares of cut wax or parchment paper in-between each one.  Place them in a zip-lock freezer proof bag and freeze for up to 2 months. 

When ready to use, just remove desired amount of sausage patties from the freezer the night before.  Store covered in the refrigerator and allow the patties to thaw in time for the next morning.

Need a super quick breakfast in the morning? Cook the sausage patties ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

The breakfast sausage can also be frozen in bulk form, instead of patties. It’s more convenient to store it that way if using the sausage in recipes.
