Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 0.5 lb ground pork
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 0.25 cup crumbled breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp olive oil (for frying or grilling, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Mix until the meats are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, smoked paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and kosher salt to the meat mixture. Stir until well-distributed.

Step 3

In a small bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add it to the meat mixture along with the breadcrumbs. Work the mixture with your hands or a spoon until it becomes cohesive and holds its shape.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions, depending on your preferred sausage size. Roll each portion into a cylindrical sausage shape or form into patties if preferred.

Step 5

If grilling or pan-frying, heat olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausages for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 6

For baking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fully cooked.

Step 7

Serve hot as a standalone dish, in buns like a burger, or alongside your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or salad.
