Spicy Breakfast Sausage
This homemade breakfast sausage recipe combines ground pork, beef, and veal with garlic, scallions, green pepper, and a blend of spices including cumin, thyme, and fennel. The mixture is shaped into logs, chilled, then sliced and fried into patties. It yields 10 to 12 servings and takes about 40 minutes to prepare, offering a much tastier and less greasy alternative to pre-packaged sausages. Perfect with eggs, pancakes, or French toast.
Ingredients
