Equipment
- 1 Skillet or air fryer
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef lean
- 1 batch Breakfast Sausage Seasoning Blend
Breakfast Sausage Seasoning Blend
- 1 tbsp Fennel Seed
- ½ tsp Red Chili Flake for spicy sausage
- 1 tsp Poultry Seasoning
- 1 tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Ground Beef: Add your ground beef to a large bowl. It’s best if the ground beef rests at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to make sure it stays tender when cooking. Cooking cold meat in a hot pan will cause the beef to become too tough.
- Add In Spice Blend: Add in breakfast sausage spice blend to the bowl with the ground beef.
- Blend Sausage and Seasoning: With your hands, mix the ground beef and spices all together. Make sure you’re not overmixing the meat.
- Heat Your Skillet: Add a thin layer of cooking oil to your skillet and turn the heat on medium high. Let heat up for a few minutes.
- Form Your Breakfast Sausage Patties: Take seasoned ground beef and make a large log. Portion into 8 even pieces. Take each piece and flatten into patties that are ¼ inch thick.
- Cook Breakfast Sausage: Add sausage patties into the heated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each size or until they are cooked through.
Air Fryer Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400F for 3-5 minutes. Lightly grease the air fryer basket or Ninja Foodi with an air fryer safe oil. Cook for 8-12 minutes flipping halfway. How long it takes to air fry sausage will depend on the thickness. Use a kitchen thermometer to make sure the internal temperature is 165F.
Notes
Storage: Once your sausage patties are cooked, let them cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezing: To freeze your cooked sausage patties, first lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid (about 2-3 hours). Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight freezer bag or container. This prevents them from sticking together and makes it easier to grab individual patties later. They’ll stay good in the freezer for 4-6 months, so you can always have a batch on hand for busy mornings!
Reheating: When you're ready to enjoy your sausages again, there are a couple of easy ways to reheat them. If they’re coming from the fridge, you can warm them up in a skillet over medium-low heat, cooking for a few minutes until they're heated through. If you’re reheating from frozen, it’s best to thaw them overnight in the fridge first, then reheat in a skillet or microwave for the best texture. For reheating in the air fryer, set it to 350°F and cook the patties for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through.
