Ground Beef Sausage
Ground beef sausage is an easy, delicious homemade sausage recipe that the whole family will love! No special equipment needed.
Servings: 4 Sausage patties
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon sage
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with all spices and seasonings. Using your hands, mix thoroughly until evenly incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
- Gently flatten into round patties.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Use lower heat to prevent burning, as the sugar in the seasoning can cause the sausage to brown quickly. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- For evenly sized patties, you can weigh the mixture before shaping. The total mixture weighs about 470 grams. Divide it into 4 portions of approximately 120 grams each, then form into patties.
- Cook ground beef sausage to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius).
- Low heat is best. Breakfast sausage often contains sugar or maple syrup, which can cause it to brown or burn quickly. Medium-low heat helps it cook through evenly.
- Rest before serving. Let cooked patties rest for 1–2 minutes to retain juices.
