Recipes Made with Breakfast Sausage

Many people cook breakfast sausage and eat it with biscuits or even pancakes, but in the South, we're a little more creative with breakfast sausage. This may be because there are more pigs to be slaughtered and we are left with several pounds of breakfast sausage or it may be because we've always been creative when we had little to work with. Either way, here are some delicious recipes that will allow you to use breakfast sausage in more creative ways.

Recipes Made with Breakfast Sausage #1: Breakfast Pizza

This recipe is not only easy, but it's great for people who really could eat pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. To make this easy recipe, you will need one large pre-made pizza crust, one pound of ground breakfast sausage that has been cooked, one 8 ounce package of shredded cheddar cheese, one dozen eggs, salsa, and jalapeno slices. Scramble the eggs and stir in the cheese right before the eggs are done. While the eggs are cooking, spread the salsa on the pizza crust and bake according to the directions on the package. When done, place the eggs, jalapeno slices, and sausage on the crust. Serve immediately. This recipe will easily feed four hungry people.

Recipes Made with Breakfast Sausage #2: Breakfast Wrap

Another easy recipe made with breakfast sausage is a breakfast wrap. For this recipe you will need two cooked breakfast sausage patties, two eggs that have been scrambled, shredded pepper jack cheese, hot sauce, and a flour tortilla.
