    Best? At minimum some analysis should review the contents of the sausage. Many have fillers, questionable cuts and preservatives. This is a taste test, not what is the best sausage.

    I like Swagerty's, Bob Evans, but my favorite is a local retired farmer who's son's raise the hogs and he still processes the ground sausage. Almost zero fat when cooking and seasoned regular mild and hot. The best I have ever tasted in my 66 yrs.

    A lot of these brands aren’t available here in Michigan. My personal go to recently is the Aldi brand in the same 1 lb chub package as these. It’s tasty (not heavy on sage or heat since I’ll add my own spin anyway) and it’s dirt cheap. I think it was 2.35 the last time I got it.

    Sausage is pretty much sausage to me and like you said, put any of that sausage on a plate with some eggs and I'd eat it no problem. Jimmy Dean's is the store sausage we buy but I have many 1lb tubes of my own homemade breakfast sausage that is just as good just in case the "economy" tanks even further...you never know but hopefully not. Love the comparison video but mostly what I liked, unrelated to food, is your American flag on your wall 👍

He kills about three times a year when it gets cold. My second favorite if I can't get that is Bass sausage that comes out of Spring Hope NC. Ya'll should give that a try! Low or zero fat makes terrible tasting sausage. Thanks guys, great video! Was that dog wearing a head cam?

    I like Jimmy Dean and Bob Evan’s. But next time Hussey, freeze the meat about 30 minutes so it’s easier to cut. And by the way, how is Maggie doing after the vet visit about her leg? And Jacob, stop hiding your face cause you already came out of the fuzz. Love the red beard!!!
