If you’re like me, you love good sausage, especially at breakfast. But if you’ve looked for a tasty, affordable option for sausage while following a Paleo diet, you’ve probably come up high and dry. We decided the other day to come up with our on Paleo homemade sausage recipe and I must say, my husband did an amazing job!
We did a 60/40 venison/pork ratio (perk of being married to and mother of hunters!) but you can use all pork if you’d like. Making homemade sausage is really quite easy- you just combine the ground meat of your choice with spices to make amazing tasting yumminess!
One thing I’ve become aware of following Whole30 is the HUGE amount of preservatives and sugar in food. I have to read EVERY label of EVERY food I buy, so I’m seeing how much these things pervade the “food” in the U.S.
Sausage is no exception to that rule- if it tastes good and is affordable, it certainly isn’t Paleo. We bought the pork for this recipe for about $1.89 a pound- not bad for fresh homemade sausage!
We had it for breakfast the other morning with eggs and fruit- it was yummy and very filling!
Here’s the recipe; let me know if you try it!
- 1 pound ground meat (60 venison/40 pork or all pork)
- 1 tsp. of salt
- 1 tsp. sage
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ½ tsp. red pepper
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. rosemary
- ¼ tsp. cayenne
- Blend meat and spices well with your hands. That's it! Enjoy your Paleo/Whole30 sausage with no guilt!
About Kelli Hays
That looks delicious. I have a lot of food allergies, so I’ve had trouble finding sausage that I can eat. There’s one brand that I’m not allergic to, but it really expensive, so I’ve been looking for an alternative.
