I Tested Popular Breakfast Sausages to See What's BEST!

[@thehungryhussey]

This was a lot of fun to make and wish I could try all them. If you're interested in another I Tested video, take a look here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3zKlayuqt-Kj8k

[@rogersmith3960]

I like Swagerty's, Bob Evans, but my favorite is a local retired farmer who's son's raise the hogs and he still processes the ground sausage. Almost zero fat when cooking and seasoned regular mild and hot. The best I have ever tasted in my 66 yrs.

[@juliastraus4273]

Wow! I wish lived near someone like that! Nothing like truly made from scratch! Would you mind if the next time you were enjoying some of that sausage, enjoying it a bit for a CA gal (who isn't even allowed to have a BBQ grill in her *storage*🙄)? It would be greatly appreciated! Take good care!😊

[@CB-os7tl]

Now your talking. Nothing beats good old homemade.

[@DoSomDiff]

Fat is the best part and healthier.

[@juliastraus4273]

@@DoSomDiff Carnivore diet?😊

[@fredthegraycatt]

I agree. I miss the sausage we used to get from an entire processed hog. The bacon and hams were outstanding as well.

[@TylerDobbsWoodworks]

Tennessee Pride hot sausage is the best store bought sausage in my opinion

[@thomasgrider6697]

Old Folks country sausage is my favorite

[@dougford5259]

Mine too!

[@jeffreybaker7406]

@@thomasgrider6697 #1 in my opinion!

[@ketolife4775]

Have that here, pretty good sausage.

[@natescranton]

Hussey! You gotta try Purnell's Old Folks. It's one of our favorites out of Kentucky.

[@stonecoldtim]

It's goooood!

[@MrCoffeekelly]

Terrible.

[@chriskramervideos]

I wanted my favorite to be Tennessee Pride, since I'm from Tennessee, but once I tried Swaggerty's, I haven't gone back. EDIT: I just found out Swaggerty's is from Kodak, TN!

[@rfinch3505]

Jimmy Dean is made only in Newbern TN...Im Food Safety QA there

[@davehill]

I recommend Old Folks Country Sausage. It's my favorite but I'm partial to Kentucky products. If you're really desperate, try Tennessee Pride... It'll do.

[@TNDRIVER]

My two favorite store-bought brands are Swaggerty's and Tennessee Pride. I prefer homemade as I like mine hot enough you can taste the red pepper in it. Must have a little crunch on the outside. Store Brand Hot Sausage to me I can not tell the difference between hot or original. I got no time for mild unless there's some Tabasco Sauce around.

[@curttimmbch]

Whatever sausage on my plate when I sit down to eat is the best.

[@JordonGB]

Jake’s Country Sausage is hands down the best! Made in Kentucky. The spicy is my favorite and they’ve just recently opened their online store for shipping anywhere in the U.S. You have to try it if you’ve never had it.

[@plumiegainey7323]

Tennessee Pride sausages are my best choice for taste, ❤

[@thehungryhussey]

Used to see it around here sometimes. Couldn’t find it this go around.

[@robertbernal3180]

Here in AZ. where I live we have Jimmy Deans, Johnsonville, Farmer John and Safeway Signature Sausage. Next time you should try different brands of Bacon 🥓. Jacob will probably like to know which one tastes better.😂 Have a great day Hussey.

[@dlkline27]

Jimmy Dean's sage flavored. If it doesn't taste like sage, it doesn't taste like sausage to me. It makes fantastic sausage gravy.

[@fredthegraycatt]

That is about the only reason I really like breakfast sausage. BnG! (Biscuits n Gravy)

[@gharv1313]

Jimmy Dean here Matt! Fun review as always! . Throwing down so deliciousness in N.C. . Cheers my friend!

[@greyballer1671]

Jimmy dean hot is pretty dang good in a breakfast burrito

[@karlmcnealjr]

It also goes into my cornbread stuffing for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Never any leftovers.

[@jrkorman]

My go to is Jimmy Dean Hot with a sprinkle of Chipotle on the patty. Bob Evans isn't too bad, but always add a bit of sage. Nothing from Wally World and most of the rest we don't see out here in Texas. Favorite is from the guy at the local farmer's market.

[@Quirk77]

Swaggerty is my favorite sausage

[@timjones3094]

I can almost smell it , hungry as heck now ! Thanks

[@AMANDA_LOWE]

Tennessee Pride is our favorite ❤

[@metthem88]

Made in Chicago

[@katillac11]

Absolutely the best! I buy it in Cincinnati at Walmart.

[@jillprosser5542]

Purnell's Old Folks Smokehouse sausage is hands down the BEST! It's what Cracker Barrel uses, or they used to use. I haven't been to CB in years but hey, Purnell's will ship it to you and shipping is free!

[@thehungryhussey]

Never heard of that, but you’ve peaked my interest!

[@fbufor01]

Being from Wisconson, my favorite is Johnsonville, both for brats and breakfast sausage. I also like Jimmy Dean and Bob Evans. I loved this video! Keep making great content!!!

[@gworebel]

Gunnoes is my favorite...I like them all but hands down it's Gunnoes for me. I'm out of Richmond, VA. You pronounced it the same way I do. Swaggertysand Jimmy Dean are a close 2nd. You didn't have it but Tennessee Pride is a good one also.

[@TheKYRifleman]

We always buy swaggerty's. It's pretty popular up here. Gunnoe's and Gwaltney are in stores here too.

[@jeffcouncilor6621]

Falls brand with added sage and red pepper is my favorite.

[@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes]

Walmart’s Great Value brand frozen sausage patties are identical in taste and size to the ones McDonald’s uses in case anyone is looking for that sort of thing. Great video, Matthew!

[@notabot3375]

Old Folks. The frozen patties. Delicious and makes the best breakfast burritos.

[@Kwl4Real]

Well, I’m a big fan of Swaggerty’s. So, since Gunnoe’s ranked #1 and I’ve never tried it, I just added it to my grocery order.

[@Unknown-un6nt]

Banquet maple precooked sausage links. Toss em on the griddle real quick. Super good

[@thehungryhussey]

I’ve had them too!

[@eljefe62]

Blue and Gold! Hands down.

[@Amocoru]

Bass Farms, Tenesee Pride Roll, Neese's are my top three.

[@jeffreybaker7406]

Dude, you need to try Purnell’s breakfast sausage from Kentucky. It will blow all of the ones you tasted off the table! Yumm!

[@richardmize5326]

In my opinion, Purnell's has gone down in quality since the old man died; went corporate. Jake's is very good. I just bought some at Kroger.

[@MrCoffeekelly]

Lol. Garbage.

[@ikeman5774]

When I can't get Purnell's Old Folks sausage, I go for Jimmy Deans Country Mild. However, Old Folks is No.1.

[@RealBigBadJohn]

Goolsby's is unbeatable, with 24 patties per box. I've been buying it for 20 years! 2nd Place: Tennessee Pride roll sausage.👍

[@loishunt2347]

Thank you Matthew❤. At the beginning of video you asked "what state does the stain look like?:. I think it looks like the state of "Disarray"😂

[@jamesodom5707]

Odom’s Tennessee Pride used to be my favorite, but seems like they changed the recipe. I choose Swagertys now

[@thehungryhussey]

Swagertys isn't bad at all my friend.

[@briangriffin9886]

Purnells is the best!!!

[@dannybonessi]

Tennessee pride is our favorite!

[@rodney5360]

There’s some I’d like to try. Bob evens is my favorite.

[@jeffdemarcus160]

Swaggerty and Wampler both made here in East Tennessee.

[@jimmysakowec9716]

Gunnoe’s is excellent and they have many good salads also.

[@n1r0l]

Sausage and salads? Same processing plant? Odd combination.

[@markforthefallen]

I probably ate their ham salad at least a few hundred times growing up😂 ​@@n1r0l

[@stevecasner8999]

Tennessee pride original is hands down my favorite.

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

Jimmy Dean is the best hands down....not even a challenge. 😂😂

[@thehungryhussey]

Haha… I hear that!

[@Sun.ce.214]

My go to has always been Bob Evans & Tennessee pride. Both have a nice strong seasoned flavor.

[@tonysmith1024]

Swagertys is our favorite.

[@christeenprice5637]

Awesome video, Thanks Hussey

[@rickhay9782]

We made Bob Evans, but Jimmy Deans is a fine sausage.

[@kathycooper7872]

Bob Evans....grew up in Ohio where Bob Evans was headquartered...loved the sausage in their restaurants and also the packaged sausage sold in stores

[@cherylwilliams2107]

Swaggerty’s is the best!

[@TedSzweb-jq1il]

Farmer John’s skinless links are by far the best , no doubt !😀 Try as a bbq appetizer & you can’t go wrong.

[@thehungryhussey]

Sounds delicious! I like a good appetizer!

[@CB-os7tl]

I pick Swaggerty or Jimmy Dean. Both great tasting.

[@patrickkerner1471]

Jimmy Dean my favorite.

[@markfleser]

A lot of these brands aren’t available here in Michigan. My personal go to recently is the Aldi brand in the same 1 lb chub package as these. It’s tasty (not heavy on sage or heat since I’ll add my own spin anyway) and it’s dirt cheap. I think it was 2.35 the last time I got it.

[@E.Meyers]

Jimmy Dean is my favorite breakfast sausage. 😋 I grew up on Neeses’s being a Tar Heel. 😊

[@pooterscooter7855]

Tennessee Pride or Conecuh all the way

[@emogogg]

100%

[@MissyRichardson-l1x]

Love swagertys

[@taccosnachos]

Love it! Very surprised you didn't rate neeses higher! 😱

[@thehungryhussey]

I know. That’s my jam too. I’m wondering me making it into circular pieces messed it up.

[@n1r0l]

That got me too. Neese's is what I buy when we have company if I can't get home made.

[@laurasloate2241]

Swaggertys is my favorite but in a pinch Tennessee pride.

[@helenabasquette7222]

bob evans sage flavor is my fav

[@nuked99]

Figures that my 2 favorite breakfast sausage were not tried 😆 For spicy i always liked Williams, and non-spicy i like Purnell's Old Folks because it tastes not as salty as the others and has a little extra black pepper finish. I used to get Jimmy Dean all the time but their flavor seems to have gone to the crapper years ago.

[@lindawood6404]

You said it right, Gunnoe's and I use that in all my sausage balls for Christmas. In our house, we use Swaggerty's Farms sausage for breakfast also like Jimmy Dean's. We love your channel and both of the Heifer Dust!

[@rmpapa-zz6vv]

Absolutely LOVE sausage balls. Just like a sausage biscuit all rolled into one little ball.

[@ketolife4775]

A serrated knife is best for cutting sausage. Hello, I am Keto Life. Look into CUTCO knives; they are American-made with a Forever Warranty and are just AWESOME! We own the ultimate set, and not looking back. Oh, and I grew up on Tennessee Pride sausage.

[@danc9440]

Solid video Hussey but shocked you didn't include Frank Corrriher's Country Sausage, made down in Landis, NC- just one county south of you! I get mine at Aldi in Winston Salem, Peters Creek, but not sure where you can find it in Thomasville/Lexington. Try it out and you MIGHT just find out that it exceeds Neese's- at almost 1/2 the cost. It's the real deal sir. I will have to try out Swaggerty's and Gunnoe's. Keep up the strong work and look forward to your next one....

[@draysum1234]

Original Rudy's Farm or Tennessee Pride is good. Hard to find anymore though. I think they got bought by big corporations.

[@swgeorgia]

Tennessee Pride, best ever....

[@trcass1]

good segment Hussy. i use the Jimmy Dean most of the time. might have to check out the great value as a backup. thanks for sharing, now i don't have to go out and try a crap-ton of sausage for my fried cabbage.

[@missourirebel9669]

I love Tennesse Pride but it so expensive anymore

[@adnacraigo6590]

You have all the good ones there. Neeses is my favorite but Swaggertys is hard to beat.

[@andycurtis1153]

Great job Matt. Bright leaf and bass farm are the best

[@NilsEkstrom-u9k]

There's a sausage in central Oklahoma called "blue and gold ". Stop at the pharmacy in Jones Oklahoma and pick up a roll. You will not regret. It has a unique silky texture and Great flavor!

[@thehungryhussey]

I'd love to try it. I like having different things.

[@synchemist6462]

My favorite is made by a local grocery store, "Nugget Market". I also like Farmer Johns.

[@MethodistPreacher]

Good Afternoon from the Great First State of Delaware! Although a small state, the southern (actually the whole state) part of Delaware, which is rural prides itself on scrapple. We do love a good breakfast. This includes sausage. My favorite is Milton Sausage, which is very local (everything in Delaware is local 😅). Kirby & Holloway is next (I’m told one bought out the other so both brands are similar in taste.). Now, back to the scrapple. While living in Durham, NC for three years I tried to find scrapple. I did notice something with a similar look, Liver Pudding, however not the same. Period. I don’t know if you’ve ever had scrapple or care for it but if you have interest in it, while Milton and Kirby & Holloway are delicious, the best is Hughes, Delaware Maid Scrapple. It’s made in Delaware but only shipped to Delaware stores. So, if you’re ever in Delaware you’ve got to try the sausage and scrapple. I enjoyed your video.

[@thehungryhussey]

I’ve had scrapple before and I like it as well as liver pudding.

[@calliemcinvaille6326]

Thamks for info

[@thehungryhussey]

You're welcome!

[@centexan]

Next time at Walmart get some Purnell's Old Folks sausage. I get the frozen (7 minutes to cook), but they also make the regular chub package.

[@thehungryhussey]

Thanks! Don’t think we have that in our Walmart though.

[@brucegordon4884]

Jakes...Bardstown Ky. Hands down

[@darryldalton1275]

Tennessee pride hot is my favorite sausage patty, but smoked links conecuh out of Alabama is the best I have ever had, I have been firing up smokers for 50 years and have tried a few in my time Conecuh hands down😊😊😊

[@thehungryhussey]

Nice!

[@tomgreen1721]

Ground breaking and for me personally life changing video

[@ses4vols]

TN Pride & Swaggerty's are my favorite.

[@kerkibub6173]

I found Whataburger sausage here in florida for a brief moment. It was definitely my favorite.

[@macbenington7832]

Yeah ,we got whataburger sausage here in s c kansas about 6 mo ago. Haven't bought any other kind since.

[@jamalljackson7146]

Blue and gold sausage is the best!!!!

[@promotinggrandpa]

we prefer Nesses... its also regulated by the co. For expiration... they will pull near exp date and replace with fresh... their market is limited because of the distant to keep the product as fresh as possible

[@angelamurrell964]

try "old folks" and "Tennessee Pride" sausages.

[@Navyuncle]

What I like the best is Schnucks store made sausage. It's only available in Missouri and Illinois and maybe Western Indiana. I also like Aldi sausage. It tends to be leaner and less salty than some other brands.

[@edwardnelson6618]

Tennessee pride and old folks country sausage is my favorite

[@thehungryhussey]

I used to see TP around here, but haven't in a long time.

[@NancyMoran-r3b]

It’s always been Bob Evan’s for us- original.

[@ethanwills2493]

We prefer Purnell’s “Old Floks” sausage.

[@vapnut]

Gunnoes is what I got in my freezer now because I just this week ran out of my favorite sausage that comes from a farmer up around Gretna VA who raises and kills his own pigs to make whole hog sausage. He kills about three times a year when it gets cold. My second favorite if I can't get that is Bass sausage that comes out of Spring Hope NC. Ya'll should give that a try! Low or zero fat makes terrible tasting sausage. Thanks guys, great video! Was that dog wearing a head cam?

[@thehungryhussey]

Thanks so much!

[@richardwarner8648]

Williams hot & Swaggerty's for a win every time. Also....sharpen that knife.

How much fun is this! We love the Jimmy Dean maple breakfast sausage at our house. Love the taste testing idea.

I live in East TN... It's Swaggerty's ALL the way for us! 😋 It's made in Kodak, about an hour away from us.

[@markmonroe7330]

[@lorrainegokingsgo9617]

I buy Jimmy Dean -Sage as well. I use it for breakfast or crumble it for a sausage pizza

[@marionreplogle1307]

If you want a sausage with a lot of fillers!! And anything made by Tyson!!

[@RGChilders7829]

When I'm cutting breakfast sausage, I freeze it a bit to make it firm and easier to cut. Just a little "hack" I've come up with.

[@thehungryhussey]

Yeah man, you're right for sure. It was really cold, not frozen though, however when shooting a video, there's things to setup and do previous, plus it was 90 degrees + with a good bit of humidity. It get's loose quick. haha.

[@RGChilders7829]

Wasn't meaning to criticize, I hope I didn't come off that way.

[@1moreford]

Williams Country Sausage for me. The Hot version. One of the few sausages left on the market without added sugar in the recipe. I hate added sugar where you don't expect to find it. Also one of the reasons sausage tends to burn so easily!

[@laytonminnix3200]

Gunnoes is a sleeper in the Sausage Game but the Whole Hog Cuts to make it is a Winner!

[@eastonvonschist2283]

Tennessee pride all the way for me.

[@claudeladow2334]

Jones uncooked links r da bomb. Freezer section.

[@rmpapa-zz6vv]

Like the blindfold idea. What about trying dill pickles next time? Spears, chips etc... just chop them up in case whoever doesn't make the same kind as the rest. BTW I prefer Bob Evans

[@SaltySilverStacker]

Bob Evan’s vs jimmy d, I agree. Jd is better, but idc when it’s breakfast sausage. It could be plain ole hamburger and I’d still eat it all up!
