    Ground Breakfast Sausage Recipe

    With me eating a low-carb, ketogenic diet these past few weeks, I noticed how hard it is to find compliant breakfast sausage in the stores. It's loaded with sugar, which I try to stay away from right now because I am trying to lose a little weight. But the hubby isn't, and he consumes and LOVES all of the newer recipes I am whipping up in the kitchen.

    If you do not mind sugar in your sausage, read below because I will share how to make it with and without; if you do prefer a sweeter sausage and are trying to stick to a low-carb, ketogenic diet. I will mention if you are doing a Whole30 any sweeteners, even natural sweeteners like Stevia, are not compliant.

    What's the best breakfast sausage seasoning?

    So glad you asked! Most of the ingredients I used in this recipe you can find in most kitchen spice cabinets, or if you can't, they are straightforward ingredients to locate in the stores. Or if you are an Amazon shopper, I will link my favorites below that are affordable.

    • ground sage
    • fennel seeds
    • garlic powder
    • onion powder
    • freshly cracked pepper (much better flavor than ground, if you only have ground, it's okay to use)
    • salt (I love pink Himalayan salt)
    • cayenne pepper (optional, for a little heat)
    • sugar (optional, if you prefer a sweeter sausage)
