Weird ingredients often lurk in store bought sausage. This even goes for options labelled as natural. Skip all that sketchiness and make this homemade pork sausage recipe. It’s fast and easy!
This recipe makes delicious sausage patties for a hearty breakfast. Or, you can switch out the spices, brown it, and add it to lots of different recipes for an authentic, Italian sausage.
The store bought sausage dilemma
There are so many unhealthy ingredients in conventional, store bought sausage. Even if you’re looking for a natural sausage option, it can be really hard to find one that doesn’t contain sugar. It’s good to get in the habit of not eating sugar in all sorts of foods that don’t really need it. And you do really need a sausage without sugar at certain times, like when you’re following the GAPS diet.
When you make your own homemade pork sausage recipe, you’re in complete control of all of the ingredients. Another benefit to making sausage yourself is that you get to decide which pork to use. You can go with some high quality, organic, pasture raised pork, and enjoy all the benefits of eating healthier meat.
It really does save money on groceries when you buy bulk ingredients and make things yourself, rather than buying pre made foods. Another bonus!
Customize it
You can keep this sausage mild, which is what I do so that it’s not too spicy for my kids. Or, you can add red pepper flakes to make it more zesty.
I have an organic Italian spice blend from Azure Standard that I like to use when I make this homemade pork sausage recipe for dinner recipes.
For breakfast sausage, I use just salt, pepper, and some dried sage. This is always delicious, and my kids love it.
