Welcome to this week's Tuesday Tastiness! I'm so glad you have joined me once again!
Today I thought I would let you know how I make beef sausage. If you have ever read the ingredients on a package of sausage, you know all the undesirable fillers that are there! The packages of the healthier versions are usually cost-prohibitive. So I love this idea! I found the recipe on allrecipes.com and follow it fairly closely to the original recipe posted (except I use beef instead of ground turkey and adjust the ingredients that give it heat).
Homemade Beef Sausage
2 pounds hamburger meat (I use grass-fed/finished when able)
3/4 t ground ginger
1 1/2 t salt (I use Real Salt)
1 t dried sage
1/4 t cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
3/4 t ground black pepper (more or less to taste)
There are two different ways to make this sausage:
1. You can make sausage patties by mixing all the ingredients together with your hands, form into patties, and cook in a pan or on a griddle, on both sides, till browned.
2. You can crumble the meat in a pan, add the rest of the ingredients and stir till browned. If you like to drain your meat, cook the meat first, drain, then add the other ingredients and warm through.
I usually make a big batch using the second choice, and freeze in bags with 1/2 pound each, because I like to add a bit of the sausage to scrambled eggs and white gravy for a delicious meal of "breakfast for supper".
Next week, look forward to my recipe of wonderful, healthy gravy!
And enjoy your sausage!
