Best Homemade Pan Sausage Recipes

BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Combine diced pork with all other ingredients and chill for 1 hour. Using the fine blade of a grinder, grind the pork. Form into 1-inch rounds. Refrigerate and use within 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. For immediate use, saute patties over medium-low heat in a non-stick pan. Saute until brown and cooked through, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

PAN-CRISPED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Prick sausages all over with a fork, and transfer to a skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat. Fill skillet with enough water to reach a quarter of the way up sides of sausages. Simmer, covered, until sausages are cooked through and water evaporates, 10 to 15 minutes. (If sausages have cooked through but water has not evaporated, uncover, and continue to cook until water evaporates.)
• Continue to cook sausages, turning, until crisp and golden brown all around, about 3 minutes. Serve with cheeses.

SHEET-PAN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Combine the pancetta, brown sugar, sage, thyme, paprika, allspice and cayenne in a food processor. Pulse until the pancetta is finely chopped.
• Transfer the pancetta mixture to a large bowl; set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice. Add the ground chicken and pork, parsley, 2 teaspoons salt, a generous amount of black pepper and the heavy cream. Mix with a rubber spatula until the cream is incorporated into the meat.
• Transfer the meat mixture to a small rimmed baking sheet; press into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the sausage until lightly browned and cooked through, 25 to 35 minutes. Pour off any excess fat and transfer the sausage to a cutting board. Cut into pieces, top with thyme and serve with maple syrup.

SHEET PAN DINNER WITH SAUSAGE AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup and spray with cooking spray.
• Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add potatoes and toss to coat. Place potatoes skin side-down on the baking sheet in a single layer.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, 23 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven; stir.
• Mix remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, onion flakes, paprika, parsley, and oregano in the same bowl. Add sausage, green beans, bell pepper, and onion; mix until well combined. Add to the baking sheet; spread in a flat layer.
• Roast until vegetables are tender and potatoes and sausage pieces are browned, tossing halfway through the roasting process, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

HOT PORK PAN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In large mixing bowl add all ingredients except meat and mix well. Add meat and combine with seasoning mixture by kneading, folding and turning like bread dough. Mix until meat is uniformally seasoned but do not overwork or it will start to emulsify.
• Cover and chill in refrigerator several hours or overnight.
• Divide meat into desired portions (a 1/4 cup dry measure makes 2 oz by weight of this meat mixture) and form into patties ( a 2 1/2" cookie cutter ring forms a nice 2 oz patty).
• Put the patties on a parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze.
• When frozen transfer the patties to freezer bags and store in freezer until ready to use.
• To cook thaw and pan fry until done.

BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a small, bowl, combine the sage, salt, ground black pepper, marjoram, brown sugar, crushed red pepper and cloves. Mix well.
• Place the pork in a large bowl and add the mixed spices to it. Mix well with your hands and form into patties.
• Saute the patties in a large skillet over medium high heat for 5 minutes per side, or until internal pork temperature reaches 160 degrees F (73 degrees C).

HOMEMADE PORK SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine all ingredients; mix well. Shape into eight 4-in. patties. In a skillet over medium heat, fry patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned or until no longer pink in the center.

SAUSAGE AND VEGETABLE SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place broccoli, baby potatoes, carrot, and onion in a large bowl. Pour in olive oil, mustard, Pecorino Romano cheese, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat, then spread vegetables in an even layer on a sheet pan. Arrange sausages in the pan, pushing aside the vegetables so that the sausages touch the bottom of the pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven, flipping sausages and vegetables halfway through until sausages are no longer pink in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
