Homemade Beef Breakfast Sausage Patties

Decent enough recipe but called for very scant spice to meat ratio! I made a better aroma and flavour by liberally adding more spices than called for (close to triple) as well as fennel seed. Skipped the sugar entirely, as the fatty meat caramelises well enough in cooking, without it ! Definitely will make this again!!!

It maybe just me, or maybe I didn’t use enough season. It was kinda bland

Very good recipe. We did not have marjoram, so we used oregano instead. We made these vegan by using Impossible burger, which can be used as you would use ground beef (indiscernible, in fact). Turned out a smidge too salty but definitely a keeper.

As written, I thought it was too sweet. I realize breakfast sausage normally has a hint of sweetness added, but I didn’t care for the sweet flavor with beef. I also found the large patties a bit big for breakfast. I made them a second time and omitted the brown sugar, as well as forming them in patties that were half the size and they turned out much better!

3.11.22 Decided to try this for breakfast sandwiches. You can tell from my photo that I didn’t make the patties large enough to fit an English muffin (easily remedied), but this turned out pretty well. Wouldn’t say that I like it as well as pork sausage (Jimmy Dean), but I think I’d like it better if I increased all of the seasonings. And that just could be personal taste. My chances of having ground beef in the freezer are better than having pork sausage, so this could be a compromise worth making for breakfast sandwiches if the need arises!

We use this all the time. I make 4lbs at a time. Make Pattie’s and vacuum seal freeze. I also make meatballs by adding 1 egg per pound beef and 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs per pound of beef. Bake the meatballs and vacuum seal freeze as well. We LOVE this recipe.

So good! When you’ve got more beef than pork on hand, these are perfect!

This is delicious! I use grass-fed beef sausage (unseasoned, ground) and leave out the brown sugar. Everything else is exactly per recipe. I usually cook up a double recipe as ground meat rather than a patty, freeze it in 5 oz. portions, and then I have a tasty protein ready to mix into my egg scrambles for a quick keto breakfast. Honestly, sometimes I just eat a cup of this for a healthy snack by itself. Very satisfying for the tastebuds and body. ??

Left out the sugar. Added an egg and some potato flakes.

I can’t believe how good this sausage is! I grind my own beef,.. just can’t bring myself to buy it. I wanted sausage for breakfast, but didn’t have any. I found this recipe, followed it to a T, and only added a pinch of smoked salt. It is absolutely delish!! I’ll definitely make this again and again and again….!!

I never use sugar in cooking (or anywhere else actually), but an alternative. These were OK. They were made for an evening meal, so I didn’t need the sugar anyway. If I make them for breakfast, I’ll add some other sweetener.

I made this recipe, as written. I then cooked a small bit to get an idea of the flavor. I didn’t enjoy it, and thought the addition of marjoram and basil distracted from my idea of what breakfast sausage should taste like. It seemed weird tasting. So, with the remaining amount of beef, I doctored it up to more resemble the breakfast sausage I know and love, only in beef, instead of pork. I added another 4 tsp of sage, added a full tsp of crushed red pepper flakes, and added about 4 tbsp of sugar free maple syrup. I would modify, then cook a bit to taste until I was happy. So, as written, 2 stars. With modifications, I would give it 4 stars.

*Love Love Love * I would give this a 10 if I could. We do not eat pork and my son has been begging for some beef sausage. Since we will only eat Organic Meat I have to make my own seasoned recipes. I found this recipe and made it exactly as written. I am going to ad it to ground turkey as well because I am going to freeze large portions to keep on hand.

It’s very delicious! Best alternative to pork!

Thank you so much!! I have two little boys who love sausage but have developed an intolerance to pork. This is also great for my husband who needs low sodium meals.

This is a great recipe!

Very good recipe. I like mine a little spicy so I doubled the amount of red crushed pepper. To combine the spices, I used an electric spice/coffee grinder before adding them to the meat.

i did a few substitutions, because a lack of spices. It still turned out good, but i love the recipie.

This was a hit with the family, I stuck with the recipe except I used a little cayenne pepper in place of the crushed red pepper.

I usually don’t review recipes, but I had to in this case. I’m American and living in Jordan. After a year and a half I have come to miss sausage and biscuits and gravy. I thought that there had to be a way to make homemade sausage out of ground beef and that’s when I came across this recipe. OMG, did this hit the spot! I didn’t have onion powder so I chopped some onions very small, dried them out in a low oven and them crumbled. I didn’t have any marjoram so I had to sub oregano. Other reviews mentioned doubling the spices so since I used only one pound of ground beef I left the spices as they were. Had I used two pounds i would have doubled them. I actually let the sausage sit about 36 hours since I made it at night and felt that cooking it in the morning wouldn’t allow the spices to sufficiently flavor the meat, hence letting it sit about 36 hours. I will definitely make this again, and again, and again, without changing a thing. Oh yeah, since I don’t like spicy stuff, I omitted the red pepper flakes.

Quick tip I got from Cooking Light magazine: If you use grass fed beef, like I do, add mayo to your beef. After reading the reviews, I doubled all the spices except salt and mixed well in a large bowl, then added the beef and about 1/4 cup mayo and mixed well. This is so much better then store bought breakfast sausage and it uses up some of the ground beef I got from the half cow I got from the butcher! Thanks so much for sharing! I will make this again and again!
