We make a few kinds of bacon sausages at the restaurant, and I’m always creating new ones, experimenting with herbs and spices. One of the first ones I came up with was our bacon bratwurst, which I form into patties, grill on both sides until perfectly charred, then serve on a soft pretzel bun with sauerkraut and honey mustard–glazed bacon. It’s tailgate meets breakfast with just enough of the bacon coming through that you know you’re eating something special. Even easier is our breakfast sausage, which is made with fresh sage, or our fall version, with maple syrup and apple added. I fry this one up in patties, so you don’t even need to think about stuffing those pesky casings. The sausages freeze really well and will keep for up to six months. I always have some ready to go in the freezer just in case I have a late-night or early-morning sausage craving. They’re perfect alongside a stack of pancakes or tucked into a split bacon biscuit.
