To find out what ingredients go into this delicious protein for breakfast, we'll need to dive a little further.
Breakfast sausage can come in link or patty form. If you're ordering it at a diner
you'll typically get the former, and if you're making it at home, you'll generally whip up the latter (unless you opt for making your own sausage links).
To make patties, you'll need ground pork, which you'll mix with the spices and then form into rounds to sizzle on the stove.
You can also buy breakfast sausage at the grocery store, although you may wind up with add-ins like corn syrup and citric acid if you do so.
If you're making it yourself, you can experiment with whatever substituting ingredients you like
If you'd like something a little lighter, replace the pork with a protein like ground chicken or turkey.
