Join the discussionYay! We don’t eat pork, so this is perfect! You just can’t find fresh beef sausage anywhere, and turkey sausage is often in pork casings, so it’s still off the menu. This looks totally doable, and sounds like it would be great for meatball subs, lasagna, spaghetti … Woot!The flavor likely gets better after a couple of days in fridge or freezer to to let the spices meld into the beef. We’ve noticed that with our homemade turkey sausage. (Also, if you want pork-free casing, you can buy cellulose or lamb casing to make link sausages at home, too.)
Good to know about the lamb. I’ll look into that!
When making beef homemade sausage in the past(over a decade ago) finely grinding about 1/8 to 1/4 of the meat (almost to pate state) helped keep the patties or links together and more like the commercial product. Start with about 1/8th of the meat, mix and cook a patty. Adjust seasoning and regrind if necessary for texture you prefer.With turkey or chicken sausage, adding *freshly* ground nutmeg enhances the flavor. No it doesn’t smell like eggnog LOL. Thanks for this recipe.
Great recipe! I mixed 1lb each ground beef & pork with the seasoning for a single recipe, plus a little sage & it was great in my egg bakes. My husband – which is a junk addict & not doing the W30 used the leftovers for tacos, without adding taco seasoning!
Made this again with 1lb ground pork, seasonings as suggested, plus 1/2t ground sage & a sprinkle of cinnamon. YUM!
Tiffany – Thanks for sharing your adaptations! I never thought about cinnamon and sage – but that sounds amazing. I may have to try that today!
Is this more of a breakfast sausage or lunch/ dinner sausage?
Kim, one of our recipe writers says it is an all-purpose sausage. She regularly eats it for breakfast, and in lunch/dinner recipes, too.
Thank you SO much for this recipe! I’m incredibly late in finding it, because (for no apparent reason that I can determine) it never occurred to me that I could make this on my own. I am relatively new to paleo and I am also deadly allergic to pork. My options get quite limited with so many pork-y recipes out there!
So glad you found it and are excited about it!
I have to stop reading this page because I almost ate my phone! I am going to try this once my ground beef thaws. Thank you all for the additional flavoring mods.
This is a great recipe. Living alone, I don’t make a pound of ground beef all at once unless I’m making pasta sauce. For this recipe, I mix the dry seasonings, put that into an airtight jar, then spoon about a tablespoon in with ¼ pound of ground beef. It’s great with duck eggs.
