I get about 12 patties around 4" in diameter when flattened out on a griddle. I coat a cutting board with a sprinkle of flour to keep the meat from sticking to the metal spatula when flattening the meat. I pair mine with thin smash burgers made from Sam's chuck log rolls to make my teriyaki burger. I melt a thin piece of cheddar on the sausage patty and one thin piece of cheese on the thin burger patty. I Lightly coat the top/bottom of bun with mayo and add a drizzle of thick low sodium teriyaki sauce. You can add shredded lettuce to the bun bottom and thinly cut onion slices to top of the meats for a greater taste. For more meat heat up a few pieces of thin lunchmeat ham as a topper to the sausage and beef patty and top that off with a 3rd piece of thin cheese. You can buy Red Robin seasoning to season the beef patties for more flavor. The sausage patty needs no seasoning.

This used to be the best sausage sold in Southern California. I don't know what happened, but the recipe has changed. The sausage is crumbly, and it's dry. Something obviously has been removed from the recipe. I guess I'll now get my sausage shipped from down south where they know good sausage

Great product to cook with. We live to use this in spaghetti also. Price is comparable to other brands. So I think it's a value buy. I would like to see this not in a tube casing but rather a box like other ground beef. I would definitely recommend this.

I’ve been using Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage for years. After today’s soufflé, I will never use this brand again. You have changed this product for the worse. It doesn’t cook the same, smell or taste the same. It destroyed the taste of my soufflé. I had to throw the soufflé away. It is bad enough that prices have gone up, but when you change quality and raise the price…shameful.

AT some point Jimmy dean sausage changed the meat , ingredients or spices . i have eaten this since the 1970's and it USED to be better ! i can't be the only one who noticed this ! I bet jimmy dean is rolling over in his grave PLEASE offer the original recipe even IF you have to charge premium for it !

The sausage has great flavor- it is just a little too spicy for my families taste buds. It cooks up really nicely and works for just about every dish you could want it for. We prefer to use sausage for sausage gravy. I would prefer to not buy this brand if I had a choice.

I use this sausage normally not as a stand alone, but to cook with other things. It has great flavor and a great price. There are honestly very few things that I would change about it. I will be buying this again to make some tasty breakfast pizzas with.

Jimmy Dean Regular Premium Pork Sausage is go to brand for regular pork sausage. It’s not as greasy as the other brands. It is so flavorful that I use it in my recipes. MEAT SAUCE by Ree Drummond Ingredients * 3 pounds ground beef (I used ground round) * 2 pounds sausage * 3 tablespoons olive oil  * 2 large yellow onions, diced  * 2 green bell peppers, seeded and diced  * 6 cloves garlic, minced  * 1 cup white wine or stock (your choice)  * Two 28-ounce cans crushed tomatoes  * One 24-ounce jar good store-bought marinara sauce (you can use another jar if you like the sauce to be more saucy than meaty)  * One 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes  * One 6-ounce can tomato paste  * 2 tablespoons sugar  * 2 teaspoons kosher salt  * 1 teaspoon ground oregano  * 1 teaspoon ground thyme  * 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, optional * 4 bay leaves  * 1/4 cup finely minced fresh parsley or 3 tablespoons parsley flakes, plus more for serving  * 1 whole rind from 1 wedge Parmesan, optional * 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, optional, plus more for serving * 2 pounds spaghetti, cooked al dente and tossed with olive oil, for serving Directions: 1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and sausage until totally browned. Remove the meat from the pot with a slotted spoon and put it into a bowl. Set aside. 2. Discard any grease in the pot, but do not clean the pot. Drizzle in the olive oil. When it is heated, throw in the onions and bell peppers. Stir it around for 1 1/2 minutes, and then add the garlic. Stir and cook for an additional minute. 3. Pour in the wine and allow it to bubble up and reduce for about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, marinara sauce and tomato paste. Stir to combine, and then add the sugar, salt, oregano, thyme, crushed red pepper if using and bay leaves. Stir, and then add the cooked ground beef and sausage and stir to combine. Place the lid on the pot and allow to simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add a little water or some low-sodium broth if it needs more liquid. 4. After an hour, add the minced parsley and the Parmesan rind if using (or grated Parmesan if you prefer--or both!). Stir to combine, and then put the lid back on and allow it to simmer for another 30 minutes or so. Discard the bay leaves before serving. 5. Serve a big bowl of oiled noodles and the meat sauce so guests can serve themselves. Top each serving with minced parsley and grated Parmesan (or Parmesan shavings) and serve with a big piece of garlic-cheese bread.

This product is great for making stuffed mushrooms with. It is not really very healthy because it contains corn syrup and MSG. MSG can cause headaches in some people. The flavor is good. This product is not expensive. I think it is the best brand in this category, I would recommend this product. Jimmy Dean Regular Premium Pork Sausage 16 Oz Chub

Well I've recently found a far better breakfast sausage now that I can't eat your's anymore! I used to "Only" buy your product but just can't get over the "NASTY, Thick greasy tongue" it leaves me with anyone more! Not too mention all the grease in the pan and shrinkage of the sausage! Like I said, I found one a little more expensive. But it's WELL worth the little extra, and I don't have to go running for two glasses of milk to cut through the pasty film to get it off of my tongue! It seems to me that corporate GREED always gets the nod!
