11 Hearty Sausage Recipes for When You Need True Comfort Food

Ground sausage is flavorful and versatile. If you’re anything like me, it’s easy to default to preparing meals with chicken or ground beef, limiting so many options. Our ground sausage recipes are easy, comforting, and always hit the spot.

We’re sharing 11 of our favorite recipes using ground sausage, including breakfast, dinner, and appetizer recipes! You can use store-bought sausage or use our sausage seasoning recipe with ground turkey or ground pork. We like to use our homemade turkey sausage recipe for breakfasts and Italian sausage seasoning for dinners.
