How to Make Venison Breakfast Sausage

Grind 2 lbs venison using a meat grinder with a coarse die.
In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the ground venison with 1 lb ground pork, 1 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tsp sage, 1 tsp thyme, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional). Gently mix with your hands until evenly distributed.
Divide the sausage mixture into 1-lb portions. Package each portion tightly in freezer-safe bags or using a vacuum sealer for optimal freshness.
For best results, cook from frozen. Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking up the sausage as it cooks. Cook until browned and cooked through (approximately 15-20 minutes), or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Serve immediately and enjoy! Your homemade venison sausage is perfect on its own, with eggs, pancakes, or as a delicious addition to your favorite breakfast casserole.
