Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 lb ground pork
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 cup crumbled breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for frying or grilling, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Mix until the meats are evenly incorporated.
Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, smoked paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and kosher salt to the meat mixture. Stir until well-distributed.
In a small bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add it to the meat mixture along with the breadcrumbs. Work the mixture with your hands or a spoon until it becomes cohesive and holds its shape.
Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions, depending on your preferred sausage size. Roll each portion into a cylindrical sausage shape or form into patties if preferred.
If grilling or pan-frying, heat olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausages for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
For baking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fully cooked.
Serve hot as a standalone dish, in buns like a burger, or alongside your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or salad.
