To cook, place the frozen sausage patties in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes, or until the patties are browned and cooked through.

These patties are also suitable for baking in the oven or cooking in an air fryer, following similar guidelines for temperature and time to ensure they are fully heated and browned.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to bulk sausage, these patties offer pre-portioned convenience, eliminating the need to form them yourself. They are typically seasoned to a standard flavor profile, whereas bulk sausage allows for personal seasoning adjustments. The texture of a patty can also be slightly different from hand-formed or bulk sausage once cooked.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused sausage patties in an airtight container or re-sealable bag in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within a few days to maintain freshness. For longer storage, the patties can be frozen, which will extend their shelf life considerably.
