Recipe tips:

These patties can also be frozen uncooked. Lay parchment paper between layers and freeze in a ziploc bag. Freeze for up to three months, thaw, or cook from frozen.

These patties can be cooked in an air fryer. Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees F. Place patties on your air fryer broiler tray. Cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.

When cooking the patties, do not press the patties into the pan. This will release the juices and fat and result in dry patties.

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.

Sausage patties shrink when cooked, making them more round than flat. To prevent this, you want the patty to be thinner in the middle than it is around the edges. Make a slight indent in the center of the patty and push a little extra meat towards the edges. This will give you an even patty once it is cooked.

If you skip the bacon, you may want to add extra salt so your sausage isn't bland.

As the oil heats, portion out the sausage mixture in 1/4 cup portions and form into flat 1/2" thick patties.

Repeat with all patties, adding extra olive oil as needed.
