Both of those guys are somehow like 14 years old and 75 years old at the same time.

At first I was like there is no way I'd eat that. Then I watched yall make it and my mouth started watering.

So, what you're telling me is I can make a breakfast sausage sandwich out of a sausage that's means to be a bacon egg and cheese sandwich

When this started I actually thought that they were going to grind up the sandwiches.. thank god they didnt.

The dude in the yellow looks like old Biff Tannen from back to the future

Croque Monsieur 👍 ...but with the fried egg bits I would have labeled it *_Croque Madame._* Very cool first episode.

I can't believe they didn't try to make a full show out of this. Oh well, Ordinary Sausage continues the good work.

Pretty sure all that hot sauce on the "trashy" sausage added to the color too

[Akshat]

Am I the only one who thought they were gonna grind the sandwich itself?

I guess I am :(

Beef sandwich sausage...Poutine sausage...Bibimbap sausage...endless crazy ideas...OMG!!!

[Jaredshapiro]

I’ve made the trashy version a couple times (cheddar instead of Kraft singles), and it’s so good! Thanks guys for making this recipe!

When you bring up mayo on a breakfast sandwich everybody seems confused for a second at the prospect of mayo on eggs. Serve those same people an egg salad sandwich and they don't bat an eyelash lol. They are both eggs, bread and mayo.

[BigDib]

Great episode. Loved these guys, they’re extremely knowledgeable about what makes each ingredient tick

[Bluemilk]

Dr. Frankenstein would be proud of the lunacy these two are capable of.

So during Thanksgiving my family makes sausage and in the video they say that they were unable to make Philly cheese steak sausage but for the last 3 years my family have been making Philly cheese steak sausage and it's pretty damn good. The recipe is a secret. We have also made pulled pork sausage which is unreal.

[StylzBYC]

What about freezing the egg, breaking it up into small bits and adding it just as you stuff it?



Thoughts?

[music_and_so_much_mo]

Sounds good. I personally would have browned them a lot more

Me: 2AM. It's time to sleep now
YouTube: Check out this video from years ago about 2 guys making sandwich sausages real quick

[spartwow]

I really like these creation/experimentation episodes. Hoping for more of them in another season!

Late to the comments but wanted to pass this story. My favorite is ham, egg, cheddar (Tillamook), tomato, and mayo breakfast sandwhich....actually called "the Gunny Special" from Camp Lejeune in the mid 80s. To current. I'm recovering from a jaw cancer surgery, and blending everything to liquid (family gifted a Vitamix for Christmas). Not a sausage but this video and current circumstance inspired all sorts of food into the blender (McBungles quarter lber, homemade stews, a carbonara, and any number of protein and veg). Cheers!
