I prefer to make my own Keto Homemade Breakfast Sausage to buying expensive sugar free breakfast sausage at the market. Living the keto lifestyle is not exactly cheap, so saving a little money whenever I can is a bonus. Furthermore, when I make my own sausage I control what goes into it and I can adjust the seasonings to suit my taste.

Homemade Breakfast Sausage is Perfect For Keto Meal Prep
The homemade breakfast sausage is great for keto meal prep. Make up a double batch and pre-cook your sausage. I form patties, links and some bulk sausage that I cook ahead of time. The pre-cooked sausage freezes well or refrigerate it for up to a week. The added fat keeps it moist and tender and it tastes great warmed up in the microwave.

Keto Homemade Breakfast Sausage Recipe
| Servings:8 | Prep Time:10minutes | Cook Time:5minutes |
- 16 oz ground pork
- 1/4 cup fat bacon grease, beef tallow or duck fat
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Lakanto golden monkfruit sweetener or sweetener of choice

Ingredients

Units:

- Gather your ingredients.
- Place the ground pork, additional fat and all the spices into your ninja, (or chosen) food processor and pulse until all ingredients are incorporated into the ground pork. (do not over mix, as this tends to make the sausage tough).
- Remove sausage from food processor and form into desired shapes or leave as bulk sausage.
Servings are listed for 8 (2 0z) patties or 16 1 0z sausage links. To pre-cook the sausages, cook over medium heat until sausage is browned on all sides. Freeze pre-cooked sausage, or store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Freshly ground pork sausage can be frozen without cooking with good results if the ground pork was not previously frozen.

I never even thought of making my own sausage! I don’t know why lol. I am going to try this in a couple of weeks when hubby gets home from deployment bc he loves sausage. Thanks for this!
I like knowing exactly what’s in my food and it’s easy to tweak this recipe to just the way I like it. Thanks for taking a moment to comment and I’d love to hear if you like the sausage. 🙂
This sausage was awesome! I did pump up the crushed red pepper since we like it spicy. Doubled and froze in 2 oz patties for easy breakfast prep. Thanks!
So glad you liked it!
Why oh why a sweetener in a sausage? Well I suppose that’s what puts it into the “American Cuisine” category.
Otherwise great!
It is not a problem to eliminate the sweetener with this recipe. Most wont even miss it. 🙂
second time I made them I added 3/4 cup of almond meal which gave them a more sausage like texture, also left out the sweetener. Nice recipe which can be easily adapted to suit taste, next lot will be sage
