Smothered Sausage Breakfast Sandwich on a Blackstone Griddle

This smothered sausage sandwich isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s a big, greasy, glorious mess that’ll keep you full well past lunch—and maybe don’t bring it up at your next doctor’s visit. I used hand-shaped ⅓ lb breakfast sausage patties, pressed slightly larger than the Texas toast since they’ll shrink on the griddle. You can swap in bacon if you’d rather, but the sausage brings the flavor.

I like to toast my Texas toast with mayo for a crispy, golden crust, but butter works too—or just toss it straight on the griddle and let it ride.

Smothered Sausage Breakfast Sandwich

A massive breakfast sandwich stacked with sausage, cheesy hash browns, fried egg, and more—all piled on crispy Texas toast. Not doctor-approved, but definitely griddle-approved.

Prep Time15 minutes mins

Cook Time30 minutes mins

Course: Breakfast

Cuisine: American

Servings: 2

Equipment

• 2 Spatulas
• 1 Infrared Thermometer

Ingredients

• 2 breakfast sausage patties ⅓ lb each
• ½ white onion diced
• 1 cup shredded hash browns
• 2 slices American cheese
• 2 eggs
• 4 slices Texas toast
• 2 leaves lettuce
• 2 slices tomato
• Sriracha mayo
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Avocado oil for cooking
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• Divide the breakfast sausage into two even patties (about ⅓ lb each).
• Dice the onion if you haven’t already.
• Preheat the griddle to 375–400°F. Add a little avocado oil and spread it around, then drop on the butter.
• Toss the hash browns into the oil and butter. Season with salt and pepper, then divide into two piles. Spread them thin and let them cook undisturbed for about 10 minutes.
• Add the diced onions to the griddle.
• Place the sausage patties on the griddle and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through.
• Once the patties and onions are done, move them to a cooler corner of the griddle to stay warm.
• Add a small amount of oil, then crack the eggs directly onto the griddle. Pop the yolks if you want them fried. Cook about 2 minutes per side.
• Toast the Texas toast slices on the griddle until golden brown.
• Flip the hash browns once they’re crispy and golden on the bottom. Top each pile with a slice of American cheese, then a scoop of grilled onions.
• Build your sandwich: toast, Sriracha mayo, lettuce, tomato, smothered hash browns, sausage patty, egg, then the top piece of toast.
