LEM Backwoods Breakfast Sausage Seasoning 8.3 oz Packet — Seasons up to 25 lb, for links & patties

LEM Backwoods Breakfast Fresh Sausage Seasoning is an 8.3 oz packet of savory spice blend formulated to season up to 25 pounds of fresh sausage, designed for making links or patties from pork or mixed meats.

If you make your own sausage at home or process wild game, this Breakfast blend from LEM offers a reliable, all-purpose flavor profile built for morning favorites and everyday uses. The packet contains a concentrated mix of spices and flavor enhancers (contains MSG) and includes straightforward directions for dissolving and mixing into meat with at least 20% pork or pork fat. Whether you prefer grill-charred links, skillet-fried patties, or bulk sausage for recipes, this seasoning simplifies producing consistent, savory results.

How do I use this seasoning to make breakfast sausage?

Start by grinding meat to your preferred texture with a minimum of 20% pork or pork fat to ensure proper binding and juiciness. Dissolve the seasoning in the amount of water indicated on the packet for smaller batches or the whole 8.3 oz packet, then blend thoroughly into the ground meat until the mixture feels tacky. At that point you can stuff into casings or shape into patties.

• Use at least 20% pork/pork fat for best texture.
• Dissolve seasoning in water before mixing for even distribution.
• Mix until meat feels tacky, then stuff or form patties.
• Cook by grilling, frying, or boiling; then refrigerate finished product.

What quantities and packaging details should I expect?

The packet weighs 8.3 ounces and is concentrated to season as much as 25 pounds of sausage, making it efficient for both small home batches and larger processing projects. Instructions printed on the package walk through measurements and step-by-step mixing so you can adapt a full packet or a partial amount depending on your yield.

• 8.3 oz packet seasons up to 25 lb of meat.
• Packaged for multiple uses—use the whole packet or portion for smaller batches.
• Clear instructions on the package for dissolving and mixing.
• Store in a cool, dry place; reseal or transfer to an airtight container after opening.

Can I use this seasoning with wild game or non-pork meats?

Yes—LEM designed this Breakfast blend to enhance a range of meats from domestic pork to venison, elk, and other wild game. Because the recipe calls for at least 20% pork or pork fat for proper texture and binding, add pork fat if using lean game meats, or combine with fattier domestic cuts to reach the recommended fat ratio.

• Suitable for wild game when supplemented with pork fat.
• Works for bulk patties or stuffed links in natural or collagen casings (19–24 mm recommended).
• Adaptable seasoning intensity—use full packet for 25 lb or portion for less.
• Ideal for breakfast-style sausage flavor across meat types.

What equipment and casing options are best for links?

For links, use a stuffer and natural sheep or collagen casings sized 19–24 mm, which are commonly sold separately. A meat grinder and mixer or sturdy bowl and hands for mixing will help you reach the tacky texture needed before stuffing. If you skip casings, form patties or bulk sausage for recipes.

• Recommended casings: 19–24 mm natural sheep or collagen (sold separately).
• Use a meat grinder and stuffer for professional-style links.
• Mix until tacky—this ensures proper texture for stuffing.
• Cook links or patties by grilling, pan-frying, or boiling to preference.

Who this product is for: Home cooks, hunters, and small-scale processors who want a dependable breakfast sausage seasoning that scales from single batches to larger quantities. If you make links or patties at home, process wild game and need added fat, or run a small catering or deli operation seeking consistent morning-style sausage flavor, this LEM packet offers a concentrated, easy-to-follow option. Note the blend contains MSG; follow package directions for safe handling, proper fat ratio, and refrigeration after cooking.
