MAPLE BREAKFAST SAUSAGE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Separate crescent dough into 16 triangles and place on a greased 14-in. round pizza pan with points toward the center. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of pan to form a crust; seal seams. Bake until golden brown, 11-13 minutes., Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage, onion and green pepper until sausage is no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Prepare gravy according to package directions. Stir into sausage mixture; set aside., In a small bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add egg mixture; cook and stir until almost set. Spread gravy mixture over crust. Top with eggs, mushrooms and cheeses. Bake until eggs are set and cheese is melted, 5-10 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with chives.

Steps:

• Chop the pork fatback and meat into 2-inch pieces. Use any tough cut, such as the bottom round, neck meat, or shoulder.
• Mix the salt, herbs, garlic, black pepper, red pepper, sugar, and cloves. Sprinkle the spices across the meat and mix thoroughly.
• Spread the seasoned meat across a metal sheet tray or in a metal bowl. Stick it in the freezer for 30 minutes to chill. The texture should be a little crunchy, but not frozen solid.
• Using the coarse die on your meat grinder, grind the meat into a chilled bowl (I set a smaller bowl inside of a bigger bowl containing ice). If at any point the mixture begins to smear or come out of the grinder mushy, it’s too warm. Transfer the meat back to the freezer for another 30 minutes.
• After the first pass, switch out the coarse grinding plate for the plate with a fine die and grind again. Or, if your meat is sliced into smaller cubes, you can grind it just once through the small die.
• At this point, you have loose sausage that can be cooked as is or formed into small patties. Eat the fresh sausage within a week, or freeze patties in between sheets of parchment paper.
