What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from ground pork, seasoned for a savory flavor. They are designed for convenient cooking and serving, offering a consistent shape and thickness.

They provide a straightforward way to incorporate pork sausage into your cooking without the need for manual shaping.
How people cook with it
These sausage patties are a versatile ingredient for quick meals. They are commonly used for breakfast but can be incorporated into other dishes.
- Breakfast sandwiches
- Sausage and egg scrambles
- Topping for biscuits
- Added to pasta dishes
To cook, place the frozen or thawed sausage patties in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for approximately 8-12 minutes, flipping them occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for safety. You can also bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through. Draining excess grease is recommended after cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to bulk pork sausage, these patties offer pre-portioned convenience, saving time on preparation. Their uniform shape ensures even cooking, unlike irregularly shaped bulk sausage which can cook unevenly. The seasoning is pre-mixed, providing a consistent flavor profile with every patty.

How to keep the rest
