Country Mild Pork Sausage: Uses and Recipes

Quick answer

Jimmy Dean Country Mild Premium Pork Sausage is a versatile ingredient perfect for breakfast patties, crumbled into scrambles, or added to pasta and casseroles for a mild, savory flavor.

How to cook with Country Mild Pork Sausage

1. Make classic breakfast patties: Slice the sausage roll into ½-inch thick rounds. Cook in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and internal temperature reaches 160°F. Don't press down on the patties while cooking—it squeezes out juices and makes them dry.
2. Crumble for scrambles and omelets: Brown the sausage in a skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat, then add beaten eggs and stir until set. Overcooking the crumbles before adding eggs makes them tough; cook just until no longer pink.
3. Add to pasta or rice dishes: Cook crumbled sausage, then toss with cooked pasta, a splash of pasta water, and grated Parmesan. For rice, stir into cooked rice with peas and a pinch of salt. Reserve some pasta water to loosen the sauce—the sausage fat alone may not be enough.
4. Use in breakfast casseroles: Layer cooked sausage crumbles with frozen hash browns, shredded cheese, and whisked eggs in a baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes until set. Let the casserole rest 5 minutes before cutting; it firms up as it cools.
