Breakfast sausage patty trick
-
It’s been discussed here on occasion the desire for a patty maker for breakfast sausage. The Weston patty maker is great but the patties are substantial. I had some 100 mm casings that I had no immediate plans for so I figured that I’d stuff it with a breakfast mix, freeze and portion out on the slicer. It worked great!
This method is an inexpensive method for the home guy. I’ll be purchasing the large rolls of poly tubing for the shop soon. This is really going to speed things up!

Joe Hell that’s some beautiful breakfast sausage and a great idea. I have some large casings on hand and now I know what I’m going to use them for. Thanks for the idea.

Looks good. Great idea

back in the day we used plastic pipe that was cut down one side then we would freeze remove then slice on the band saw and could reuse many times a bigger size for burger patties

@Joe-Hells pictures are always top notch, and it’s a great example of the quality of the meat you use affecting the outcome of your sausage

https://waltons.com/pork-sausage-meat-bags/Why not just use these, same as Jimmy Dean and most sausage patty is sold? More convenient for freezer storage, you just microwave the frozen 1 lb bags for a minute and slice up patties with a knife when you need them? I think Joe Hell was making presliced patties commercially to sell for immediate use, but most home producers can probably knife slice their own

Dave in AZ That’s what I do, but I don’t microwave it, I haven’t had much trouble just slicing through frozen with a sharp knife.

Tex_77 Hah! Now you mention it, that is actually just the trick to soften up the freeze a bit so my wife can slice it. But yeah you definitely want it still frozen when slicing!
Anyways, these are some great bags, I’m going to order some myself, I’ve been putting 1 lb flat in a quart bag then cutting into 9 with spatula. But I’ve got so many bags of cubed up meat in freezer, it’s hard to find the breakfast sausage now.

I had some frozen bulk venison breakfast sausage in poly bags so I set some in the frig overnight to temper. This afternoon I sliced it… This is a really fast and easy way to crank out a lot of patties.
The size is just about perfect. I plan to freeze the patties solid again and then vacuum seal them between parchment paper so hopefully they don’t stick to the bags after they are thawed.

Yup, thats the first time I have seen a slicer used for that, I have seen band saws and poly tubing but using a slicer is ingenuity on another level!

Joe Hell gets all the credit for this great idea. I just had to try it because it looked a huge time saver.

processhead very good idea, parchment paper should help from keeping them from sticking.

I’ve cut patties with a knife that way but never thought of getting out the slicer! Great meat hack if you want to make batch up quick.
