Key ingredients in these ground beef sausage patties
All ingredients, measurements, and instructions are in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Ground beef – You could also use bison! Try to find good quality meat. We usually opt for organic or pasture-raised meat without any hormones or antibiotics.
Sausage seasoning mix – I make mine from scratch. I’ll link my recipe here! I use 3 tablespoons of this seasoning mix per pound of meat. You could also use a store-bought seasoning if you like!
Oil – used for frying the sausage patties. We usually buy 90% lean beef, so I cook the patties in a little bit of oil so they fry up nicely. If you’re using 85 or 80% beef, I wouldn’t recommend cooking them with oil because the meat has enough fat in it to cook the patties well.
How to Make Homemade Beef Breakfast Sausage Patties :
Step one: To a large bowl, add the ground beef and sausage seasoning mix. Using your gloved hands or a spoon, mix until all the seasonings have been well incorporated into the meat.
Step two: Divide the meat into 6 – 7 roughly uniform patties.
Step three: Preheat a large cast iron skillet with a little bit of oil. Fry the patties until they are well done and seared on both sides, cooking for 3 – 4 minutes per side.
Step four: Serve with your favorite breakfast sides. Enjoy!

Cooking and storing tips
Properly preheat the skillet – Make sure the pan is hot before adding the sausage patties. This way they will get a nice sear and crispy edges.
Use gloves to mix the meat – If you don’t like touching raw meat, grab a pair of disposable gloves to mix the meat with the seasonings and shape it into patties.
The meat patties will shrink while cooking – Make the patties a little larger than you want them because they will shrink as they cook.
Storing – Store in an air-tight container for 3 – 5 days in the refrigerator or in the freezer for several weeks.
Reheating – Reheat in the oven for a few minutes until hot, or covered on the stove so they don’t dry out.
Serving suggestions
Scrambled eggs
Toast with lots of butter and/or jelly or honey

Mashed potatoes, if serving for dinner it tastes lovely with potatoes and gravy!
Fried plantains, I love fried plantains and eat them for breakfast lunch, dinner, and snacks!
Orange juice, there’s nothing like a cold glass of organic orange juice in the morning with breakfast!
