How to Make Andouille Style Breakfast Sausage

  1. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine all ingredients until well mixed.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor development).
  3. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil (about 1 tablespoon).
  4. Form the sausage mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F).
  5. Alternatively, crumble the sausage mixture and add to your favorite breakfast burritos, soups, or stews. Cook according to your recipe's instructions.
  6. **For Smoked Sausage:** Increase the recipe quantity as desired. Stuff the mixture into sausage casings. Smoke over soaked hickory chips at 225°F until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Then cook for an additional 10 minutes to ensure it's fully cooked.
