For MSG substitute use dietary yeast and powdered shiitake mushrooms. Should add some type of savory.

Easy to follow. Just made 4# of different flavors from a $8.92 pork shoulder. Jimmy Dean is selling for $3.99 a pound. I fried up a test patty from each mixture. All are good. The hot is HOT.

@@hectorgonzales3082 right!

[@TheOriginalRick]

@@hectorgonzales3082 No. Increasing the amount of meat does not mean increasing the spices on an even ratio. You can wind up way overspiced doing that. I would start with about 60 percent spices and fry up two spoonfuls for testing. You can always add more after testing.

Stumbled across this tonight. I like to experiment with making breakfast sausage out of wild game (elk and pronghorn antelope) each year. I usually use a 50/50 mix of ground pork butt and wild game. I'm going to give these recipes a try this fall. Thanks for the video!

[@dwadecolburn8642]

Get yourself some pork bellies instead of butter, and you will never go back.

[@michaelquillen2679]

Update...did the original mix last week with my elk/pork butt grind. As it was 50% elk and not 100% pork, it did not taste exactly like the original...but it was pretty darn tasty! In fact, it was a good enough mix to use to introduce people who like breakfast sausage to the taste of wild game. Also, good/safe for those recipes that might use Jimmy Dean original. Thanks again for the video!

[@mevans3756]

Best sausage EVER! Hey, I used to get a “smoked” breakfast sausage and it was my favorite but I haven’t seen it in years. Do you have any ideas for how I could make this at home?

[@TheOriginalRick]

Our local supermarket had a pork loin sale of buy one, get two free. We got a lot of pork loin for cheap. Just made a bunch of sage breakfast sausage with our Kitchen Aid grinder. Used fresh sage instead of dried. Didn't have a lot of fat on the loin so we borrowed some from a nice top round beef roast that we had just turned into turned into some mighty fine jerky. Worked fine for both the texture and taste. In today's economy you just can't shop like it was 2020. A little bit of savings here, and then there, can make a real difference in your budget. Plus, making your own food is just plain fun and you know exactly what is going into it.

[@morebeer4435]

This is my version of JD copycat and its damn close. Mine does have MSG. If you are here looking for a sausage receipe, then you really dont care about MSG in your diet. Live a little people. If you read the tube ingredients on a JD sausage package you will see a few ingredients that stand out. If I recall the first is pork broth. I have no idea wth pork broth is (probably juice from the boiled testicles), but dont pay attention to that. The second is fructose corn syrup or something to that effect. So with that I have modified the recipe as follows.... 1 pound of ground pork, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2tsp dried parsley, 1/4tsp ground sage, 1/4tsp ground black pepper (not from a grinder but store bought), 1/4tsp thyme, 1/4tsp rep pepper flakes, 1/4tsp coriander, 1/4tsp oregano, 1TBL Karo syrup, 1/2tsp MSG. If you dont have that ability to grind your own pork butt then find quality ground pork at the store. You have to let the spices blend for a minimum of 1 day after you mix. If you dont it will not taste worth a damn. You will get that classic dark brown/black of the caramelizing of the Karo and the taste is damn good. When cooking, cook on a med temp and flip about 4 times until the patties reach 150 degrees internal temp. No higher than that or they will be hard as a rock. Gonna go slap someone they are that good. Cheers!!

MSG=Excitotoxins, all of which have been linked to brain cell death, infertility, issues with sexual development, aggressive behaviors, and hormonal disorders, has been known to trigger headaches. Glutamate easily crosses the blood-brain barrier, stimulating cell receptors that triggers cell death. If you’ve ever felt compelled to take another bite, despite feeling full, the concern may not be a lack of self control. In fact, the issue may not even be with you at all: It could be an excitotoxin. These non-essential amino acids stimulate or “excite” the umami or savory taste buds making food seem more flavorful than it really is, ( another reason why you cannot make cheese puff to taste exactly, or as good as the original). globalhealing.com/natural-health/6-dangerous-excitotoxins/ Also, high on the food allergy list.

I agree, you need meat for breakfast and that breakfast is not breakfast without meat. So if you only have hotdogs don't worry because hotdogs are not hotdogs when you eat them at breakfast. At breakfast, hotdogs are called sausage!

[@TheOriginalRick]

Zack... you should try the Filipino style breakfast. It consists of a protein, a fried egg, and garlic fried rice. Pretty standard daily fare. If the protein is filipino sausage it is longsilog. If it is chicken it is chicksilog. With sliced beef it becomes tapsilog. They even have a hotsilog version with hot dogs. And a spamsilog with -you guessed it-. The longganisa Filipino sausage is well worth trying on its own. There are many recipes here on YT for it. And any day that starts with garlic fried rice is going to be a good day.

If it falls apart it probably is too lean. I would add more fat to see if that solves the problem.

I tried the hot recipe. The flavor was there. But I asked the butcher at the supermarket to grind 2 - 1lb packages of ground pork for me. Mistake. Not enough fat in the mixture. I had to add butter to the fry pan to get them to brown properly because they weren't cooking in their own fat. I'll know better next time. Getting a grinder tomorrow for one thing. If my own grind looks lean still I plan to add 1/4 cup of Crisco lard to the mix per pound. The meat was very dense and needs fat to break it up. Sausage patties should be a little floppy/brittle from the fat in them.

You overcooked all of the sausages. Put pan just below medium-high. Let it get hot. Add sausages and cook 3-4 minutes, flip cook 2-4 minutes until it’s 160 inside.

No fancy meat grinder or no butcher or no ground pork at Wally's !? If you have a food processor (bigger the better)- small food processors don't work well - you are in luck. Cut your choice of pork into 1/2 cubes . Then freeze. Freeze them on something that will release them easily . Put the pieces singly into the processor. Don't over load it. Do batches. Pulse several times to desired chop/grind. Rock hard frozen is a little too far frozen. Go for a little less than that. Easy on your blade, plastic processor bowl and amount of pulse. .....
