Country-Style Waffle Sandwich

Ingredients:

• 1 recipe Basic Country Beef Breakfast Sausage
• 2 eggs, slightly beaten
• 8 frozen waffles

• Sliced cheese, spinach, avocado slices, hot sauce, salsa, sour cream, sliced peppers

Cooking:

1. Prepare Country-Style Beef Breakfast Sausage. 
   
   

   Basic Country-Style Beef Breakfast Sausage: Combine 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner), 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage, 1 teaspoon garlic power, 1 teaspoon onion power, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.  Lightly shape sausage mixture into four 1/2-inch thick patties.  Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot.  Add patties; cook 10 to 12 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally. 
    

Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
2. Meanwhile, heat separate skillet over medium heat until hot. Add eggs; cook and stir until eggs are scrambled or prepare as omelet as desired. Toast frozen waffle according to package directions.
3. Top each of four waffles with a sausage patty.  Divide eggs evenly among sandwiches.  Top with remaining waffles.
