How people cook with it
These sausage patties are a popular choice for a hearty breakfast. They pair well with a variety of morning meal staples.
- With eggs and toast
- In breakfast sandwiches
- Alongside pancakes
- As a side dish
To cook, place the frozen or thawed patties in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and they are browned. Alternatively, they can be placed on a baking sheet and cooked in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure they are cooked thoroughly before serving. Drain off any excess grease after cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to bulk sausage, these patties offer pre-portioned convenience, saving time on shaping. Their original seasoning is a balanced blend, differing from spicier or herb-infused varieties. The texture is typically consistent across patties due to their uniform formation.

How to keep the rest
Keep refrigerated and use by the date on the package. If frozen, store in the freezer. Once opened, it is best to consume the remaining patties within a few days. Proper refrigeration is essential for maintaining freshness and safety.
