Beef Breakfast Sausage Patties from Scratch

Beef Breakfast Sausage Patties from Scratch deliver a rich, meaty bite balanced by sage, basil, and a hint of brown sugar, with a gentle warmth from red pepper flakes. Resting the mixture allows the spices to bloom, giving each patty a deeper, rounded flavor ideal for pairing with eggs, biscuits, or a brunch spread.

Beef Breakfast Sausage Patties from Scratch
  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Put the ground beef in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, sage, salt, basil, black pepper, onion powder, marjoram, and red pepper flakes.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle the mixture over the beef and use your hands to mix until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate until the flavors have blended, about 24 hours.

  5. 5

    Shape the beef mixture into 8 patties.

  6. 6

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the patties in the hot skillet until firm and no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
