George’s Sausage Texas Style
A spicy sausage with true Southwestern zip! These breakfast sausages
are great served with a sautéed vegetable or fresh salsa and egg
scramble. Buy 90% lean ground beef for the least-fat sausage. Ninety
percent lean beef has 9 grams of fat with 4 of those grams being satu-
rated fat; whereas 73% lean beef has 18 grams of fat with 7 of the grams
being saturated.
1 slightly beaten egg white
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup diced green chili peppers
1 clove (large) garlic, finely minced
2 Tbsp. snipped fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1-1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
•In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the egg white, onion, bread
crumbs, green chili peppers, garlic, cilantro, vinegar, chili powder,
salt and cayenne pepper. Add the ground beef and mix well.
• Shape the mixture into eight 3-inch wide patties.
•Preheat the Grilling Machine. Place the patties on the grill eight at a
time. Close the Lid.
• Cook for 4 - 5 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the
juices run clear, turning once or twice.
•Yield: 8 patties
