  • MAKE-AHEAD TIP

    • If you want to freeze these patties for a later meal, place a square of parchment paper between each patty to keep them from sticking together. Then, place them in a ziplock bag and freeze.

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, and spray the surface with cooking spray. Cook in batches of 2 or 3 patties for about 5 minutes on each side until meat forms a brown crust

  • Toast English muffin, and assemble sandwich with the sausage patty and sliced tomatoes.
