Hi John - I don't think this would work how you're hoping. Because the meat is pre-cooked, it wouldn't really absorb the seasoning and flavor. Additionally, if I had to guess, I suspect that the pre-cooked patties have seasoning and things already mixed in them to hold them together. I'd recommend starting with raw ground pork for this particular recipe!

Hi Audrey - I have not tried it with beef. I imagine you could use the same seasonings. The flavor will be a bit different, as beef has a very distinct flavor all on it's own. Typically when making sausage, you want to use a mild flavored meat, such as pork, chicken, or turkey. Hope that helps!

Haha I like that thought! It's actually a friend of mine. When I received your comment and showed it to her, she said she didn't know I was asking about my blog specifically, but thought I was asking about paleo in general!

Hi Angel,

Thanks for the suggestion! Flavors are definitely preferences that are unique to the individual, so I'm glad you found an option that works better for your taste buds. That's what "scaleo" is all about - scaling to find an option that is right for you!
