Today, I&#8217;m sharing an American style Breakfast Sausage that has been popularized by companies like Johnsonville or even the late famous country singer, Jimmy Dean.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sweet and savory sausage has become an American staple that is served many different ways; links, patties or even cooked up ground and added to eggs with cheese or most widely known, probably, in sausage gravy, served over <a href=\"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/buttermilk-biscuits.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buttermilk Biscuits<\/a> and\/or a <a href=\"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/ribeye-chicken-fried-steak.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chicken Fried Steak<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today&#8217;s recipe is all about the ingredients and how to get the best flavor and texture out of a breakfast sausage.  So, I&#8217;ve listed all of the ingredients down below, along with my recommendations and a &#8220;how to&#8221; video tutorial. There are a few &#8220;optional&#8221; ingredients, like pink curing salt and msg, but if one comes out it should be replaced with an equal amount of salt in it&#8217;s place.  The pink salt should only be added if you&#8217;re planning on smoking the sausage.  MSG, obviously intensifies the flavor of the sausage and is an active ingredient in store bought sausages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t add powdered skim milk to my sausage in the video but I have it listed in the ingredients for this recipe.  It should be added if you want to retain more moisture and add the proper sausage texture that we&#8217;ve all come to expect in cooked or smoked sausage.  Questions can always be asked in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a
