You won't go back to the store-bought (MSG-filled) sausage again after you try this Easy Homemade Country Breakfast Sausage!
Breakfast sausage is one of those foods that we usually buy but never really pay attention to. That is, until you must be gluten-free and start learning to read the labels much closer. I will completely admit, I was guilty of this for the longest time. I mean, it’s breakfast sausage, not bread. Why would there be gluten in it, right?
Well, there can be, and since I know my husband is an absolute lover of all things breakfast and sausage, I had to start making it. He now says this tastes better than the store-bought kind.
Who am I to deprive him of a simple love like breakfast sausage? I mean, it should have been a no-brainer from the start since one of his all-time favorite foods is chicken fried steak, for which you can’t make classic country gravy without sausage. I mean, you could, but that is just not normal.
Is Homemade Breakfast Sausage Healthier?
This recipe is simple and has only a few ingredients that you can clearly understand. Many breakfast sausages have added sugars or possible gluten contamination because of the spices and flavorings used. You won't find any of that in this recipe.
