Southern-style Breakfast sausages have a distinctive flavor. So, if you add the seasoning blend to other dishes, it gives them a bit of that feeling. You can use it to season ground beef while cooking it, or you can put some into soups or stews.

The mixture of sage, thyme, garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and a touch of ground cloves really works with all kinds of things.

Note that there is salt in this mixture. Be careful not to add it to things that you’ve already salted. Or, you can mix up a batch without the salt and know that you need to add salt if using it in something unsalted.

Making a Small Batch of Breakfast Sausage Seasoning

If you want a batch of Sausage Seasoning in your pantry that you can grab and use whenever, then scroll down to make the full recipe. However, if you just want a small batch to use right now in a recipe, or, if you just want to know approximately how much of each ingredient to add directly to something that you’re cooking so that it will have the same general sausage flavor, I have the info for you below as well.

Do note that this recipe and the small batches all contain salt so you will probably not want to add anything else that contains salt, or any additional salt.

This is how to make about 2 tablespoons of the seasoning. For reference that is enough seasoning for about 3/4 to 1 pound of ground meat.

To Add Directly to the Food You’re Cooking: Add some brown sugar. Add one-third as much of dried sage and of salt. Then go in with a pinch of black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. A pinch of cayenne is optional.

So those are the small batches of the seasoning, the full recipe is below. Whether you’re making sausages or just want all your food to taste like sausages (who doesn’t want that???), I can’t wait for you to try this. I know you’re going to love this blend!
