Easy Beef Sausage Recipe
Report
This juicy and flavorful beef sausage is so tasty and filling. You can make several of them ahead of time and quickly reheat them each morning.

Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef 85/15
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ½ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried sage
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Place the ground beef, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried sage, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl.
- Use clean hands to combine these ingredients into a uniform mixture. Don't over-mix.
- Divide the mixture into four ½-inch thick patties. You can also divide it into eight small patties if you wish.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook them until browned and cooked through, for about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately. I like to serve them with fried eggs.
Notes
- You can form the mixture into eight small patties instead of four larger ones. If you do, they'll be ready faster - you'll need to cook them for about 3 minutes per side over medium heat.
- When combining the meat with the spices, try not to over-mix (over-mixing will result in dense sausage), but make sure the mixture is uniform and the spices are distributed throughout.
- You can easily double the recipe, cook the patties in batches (or use a double-burner griddle), and keep the leftovers in the fridge for a few days. They also freeze well.
- You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. They keep quite well. You can reheat them in the microwave at 50% power.
