In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of how to make hot breakfast sausage, from selecting the right spices to cooking it to perfection.
Ingredients
To make hot breakfast sausage, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 2 pounds of ground pork
– 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon of onion powder
– 1 teaspoon of paprika
– 1 teaspoon of chili powder
– 1 teaspoon of cumin
– 1 teaspoon of black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1/4 teaspoon of allspice
– 1/4 teaspoon of mustard powder
– 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
– 1/4 cup of cold water
Preparation
Before you begin, gather all your ingredients and make sure your equipment is ready. You’ll need a large mixing bowl, a wooden spoon, and a skillet or frying pan. Additionally, you may want to have some paper towels on hand for basting and cleaning up any spills.
Combine the Ingredients
In the mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with all the spices. Use the wooden spoon to mix the ingredients thoroughly. The mixture should be well combined and have an even distribution of spices.
Form the Sausage
Once the mixture is well combined, you can begin forming the sausage links. Take a small portion of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Then, using your fingers, gently push the ball into a sausage shape. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used up. You can either tie the ends of the sausages with kitchen twine or leave them as is.
Cook the Sausage
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking. Once the oil is hot, place the sausages in the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Be sure to turn them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Serve and Enjoy
Once the sausages are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. You can serve the hot breakfast sausage with eggs, pancakes, or simply on its own for a hearty breakfast.
By following these simple steps, you can now enjoy homemade hot breakfast sausage whenever you desire. Not only will it taste amazing, but it will also give you a sense of accomplishment and control over your morning meal. Happy cooking!
