With so many ways to eat this savory and popular food, why not add it to your breakfast, lunch and dinner? Or, make sausage the star of your canapes and party snacks. To help you get started, we’ve compiled a list of tasty sausage recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner you have to try.
Breakfast Sausage Recipes
Enjoy a protein-rich or on-the-go breakfast with these delicious and convenient breakfast sausage recipes:
Sausage and Avocado Toast
Use 8 ounces of your favorite sausage to make this simple and filling breakfast. You’ll get four pieces of toast, perfect for two people.
Cook your sausage in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for pork sausage or 165 degrees F for chicken sausage. Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks, or slice it up once it’s done cooking.
Toast four slices of bread — we recommend multigrain or pumpernickel — and drizzle them with olive oil after removing them from the toaster. Cut 1 garlic clove in half, and rub the cut part on each piece of bread.
Cut an avocado into quarters and mash one piece on each slice of bread. Squeeze some lime juice on each, and sprinkle with salt, pepper and cilantro. Top with your sausage and a spoonful of crumbled queso fresco and salsa. You’ll feel powered up for your day!
Cornbread Stuffing Muffins With Sausage
Do you prefer a baked good for breakfast? How about a baked cornbread stuffing muffin with sausage for a bite-size and delicious breakfast? This recipe serves between four and six people, so you can share — or keep them for yourself and reheat them throughout the week.
Cook 1 package of mild Italian sausage and chop them into small pieces. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F, and prepare your cornbread muffin mix according to the package instructions. Spray your muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray before placing a cupcake liner in each slot. Spoon your cornbread batter into each holder so that each is half-full.
For your muffin stuffing, use a large bowl to mix the cooked sausage, ⅓ cup diced celery, ⅓ cup diced and sauteed onions, ⅓ cup cranberries, and 4 tablespoons of chopped red or green onion. Spoon 1 tablespoon into the middle of your batter in the cupcake liner, ensuring each muffin has equal filling.
Bake muffins for 20 minutes or according to the package directions. Garnish your muffins with green onions and serve while warm.
Lunch Sausage Recipes
Sausage is an excellent lunch option — have it on bread, in pasta or in a taco shell.
Grilled Kielbasa Tacos
If you want a flavorful and filling sausage lunch recipe, make these vibrant grilled kielbasa tacos.
Chop 2 medium Vidalia onions, 2 orange bell peppers and 1 bunch green onions. Place the veggies in a large mixing bowl with 4 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 tsp ground pepper, and ¼ cup lemon or lime juice. Toss to combine all of the ingredients.
Line a grill-safe baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place your veggie mixture on top in a single layer. Grill the veggies for about 5 minutes, removing the scallions if they’re cooking faster than the other ingredients. Let all the veggies cool in a large bowl while you prepare your sausage.
Unpackage your kielbasa, place it on a plate and let it chill in the freezer for 20 minutes. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and cut the links lengthwise. Grill the sausage for about 5-7 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Rotate the pieces once to ensure evenness.
Lightly brown and warm your tortillas on the grill. Spoon your vegetable filling and kielbasa into your tacos and top with extra garnish. You’ll get eight tacos!
Sausage Appetizers
These fun sausage appetizer recipes are perfect for a light snack or dinner party starter:
Mixed Sausage Charcuterie Board
Who doesn’t love a little taste of everything? This mixed charcuterie board serves between six and 10 people and is an excellent way to incorporate various sausage types, textures and flavors.
Grill various types of sausage until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F for pork or 165 degrees F for chicken. Once cooked, cover your sausages with foil to keep them warm while you assemble the rest of the charcuterie board.
Pour sauces like Dijon mustard, BBQ and tahini into small dishes. Arrange your favorite veggies on the board — we like carrot sticks, pickles, bell peppers, olives, cucumbers, sauerkraut and celery sticks. Add a few types of cheese and your sausage once it’s cooled and cut into slices. Place your board on a table for everyone to enjoy.
Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
Spice up your party with these quick and easy sausage-stuffed mushrooms. You’ll get between four and six servings but can easily double — or triple — the recipe for a larger get-together.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. While it’s heating up, cook 1 package of sausage in a frying pan over medium heat until brown. Then, wash 1 package of mushrooms and remove the stems.
Cover the bottom of a baking pan with ½ cup of steak sauce, and line up the mushrooms on top. Add sausage pieces to each mushroom, and cook in the oven for about 25 minutes. Once ready, add ¼ slice of cheese to each mushroom and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Sausage, Potato and Pepper Skillet
Who doesn’t like a tasty and quick meal? This sausage, potato and pepper skillet makes an ideal weeknight dinner and yields four to six servings.
Chop 1 pound of potatoes and put them in a pot. Cover with cold water, add some salt over the top and bring to a boil. Cook for 4-5 minutes. While they cook, heat a big pan to medium and add 1 package of sausage. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sausage is browned, breaking it up as you do. Add 1 large diced pepper and 1 medium diced onion to the pan, as well as some red pepper flakes. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and cook until the veggies soften.
Drain your potatoes and add them to the pan. Cook until the sausage and peppers are cooked thoroughly and the potatoes get delightfully crisp. Serve it up and enjoy!
