Homemade Country-Style Breakfast Sausage
In the post Homegrown Pork Sausage Recipes we shared making two types of Italian sausage from our pigs we raised here on the farm. Since then we have been working on some breakfast sausage recipes and have come up with one we think is really good. It’s a spicy sausage, but if you prefer mild, just omit the cayenne pepper and/or red pepper flakes. Personally, if I were going to leave one out to make it mild, but still like traditional breakfast sausage, I would choose to leave out the cayenne but keep the red pepper flakes.
