Ingredients
Venison Breakfast Sausage (or use half of this recipe and make the rest into patties):
- 1/2 lb. ground venison (I have used all venison – 1lb total with good results, pork makes it more mild & juicy – your choice!)
- 1/2 lb. ground pork
- 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp. fennel seeds
- 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 pinch. allspice
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
For the bowl:
- 1 Tbsp. avocado oil, butter or ghee
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/2 bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
For serving:
- 4 eggs – optional – I like mine served with a fried egg, my husband and daughter do not
- Sliced avocado
- Your favorite cheese
- Your favorite hot sauce
- Anything else you love – tomatoes, jalapeños, herbs, the list goes on!
- Start by combining the ingredients to make the venison breakfast sausage. Instead of forming the sausage into logs or patties, add it directly to a large pan over medium heat with the oil/butter. Cook the sausage until browned and remove from the pan.
- Place the pan back over medium heat and add the potato, onion and pepper. Let them saute for about 3-5 minutes. Add ¼ cup of water, cover the pan and let them cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Once softened, add salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well.
- Now it’s time to assemble the bowls! Divide the crumbled venison sausage and veggie mixture evenly between 4 bowls or containers with lids.
- If you’re meal prepping, secure lids and place these in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds on in a pan when you want to eat.
- If you’re ready to serve, top with a fried egg (if you wish), sliced avocado and any other toppings you desire! Enjoy!
