Country Beef Breakfast Sausage Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage or ½ teaspoon rubbed sage
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Breakfast Mug Ingredients

  • Country Beef Breakfast Sausage
  • 1 cup chopped fresh vegetables, such as tomato, baby spinach, bell pepper, zucchini or green onion
  • 8 large eggs
  • ½ cup shredded reduced-fat cheese such as Cheddar, Monterey Jack or American
  • Salt and pepper, optional

Toppings (Optional)

  • Sour cream, salsa, Sriracha hot sauce or ketchup, optional

Instructions
 

For the Country Beef Breakfast Sausage

  • Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Using your hands, mix the meat and spices together gently, but thoroughly.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking larger chunks into ½-inch pieces. Remove from the heat and let cool.

For the Breakfast Mugs

  • After chopping the vegetables and making the Country Beef Breakfast Sausage, evenly divide beef and vegetables into 8 food-safe zip top bags. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
  • For each serving, coat a 6 to 12-ounce mug or ramekin with cooking spray. Add an egg and one tablespoon of water. Whisk briefly, then add a bag of the refrigerated mix and give it a quick stir.
  • Microwave, uncovered, on high for 30 seconds. Stir. Continue to microwave on high, 30-60 seconds longer, or until the egg is just set.
  • Stir again, then top with the cheese. Let stand for 30 seconds or until the cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper, add desired toppings and serve.

Notes

What I'd Do Different Next Time
 
I'd add a teaspoon of caraway seeds to the sausage mixture before cooking it.
