Are you a bacon or a sausage person at breakfast? I have to admit, I’m more of a bacon person. I do enjoy breakfast sausage once in a while though. Costco’s Greenfield Natural Meat Co. Fully Cooked Breakfast Sausage Rounds offer sausage in patty form – quick and easy to cook and perfect for making breakfast sandwiches! Is it tasty enough to convert a bacon lover like me?
Other breakfast products from Costco are the Veggies Made Great Spinach Egg White Frittatas, Three Bridges Egg Bites, Kodiak Cakes Flapjack Mix, Hartybake Maple Belgian Waffles, Kirkland Signature Maple Syrup, Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix, La Terra Fina Quiche, Smokey River Meat Company Turkey Breakfast Sausage and the Spudlers Bacon Hash.
Location in Store
These are located in the frozen aisle at Costco, near the other frozen breakfast products. The item number is 5001937.
Taste
My first thought when trying these is that they taste exactly like a typical breakfast sausage you’d get at a fast food restaurant or pancake breakfast. They’re very salty and heavily seasoned, which I like!
The texture of the sausage rounds is a bit chewy but not in a bad way, they aren’t rubbery. I appreciate that I didn’t find any hard bits, bone or gristle in the round I tried.
The rounds don’t taste healthy and are a bit greasy but they leave you wanting more, like other, salty, greasy foods do. I’m excited to use these to make breakfast sandwiches!
Cost
The 1.2-kilogram box of breakfast sausage rounds costs $16.99 Canadian at Costco. The price isn’t ridiculous considering it’s a pretty big box but it’s also not really cheap either.
Convenience
The rounds need to be kept frozen and the best-before date is about six months from when I purchased them. The cooking instructions are for pan frying but I wish they also had instructions for air frying or microwaving or even an oven method.
I don’t love that the bag of sausage rounds inside the box doesn’t reseal, I popped them in a ziploc bag to keep them sealed.
I followed the cooking instructions and my rounds turned out fine after frying them in the pan for about 10 minutes. These go great with scrambled eggs, pancakes or waffles and would also make a delicious breakfast sandwich!
Nutrition
Calories
One sausage round contains 160 calories, 14 grams of fat, zero grams of carbohydrates, sugar and fiber, eight grams of protein and 290 milligrams of sodium. These aren’t low in calories or fat but that’s kind of expected. I’m actually surprised the sodium isn’t higher because they taste so salty!
Ingredients
The ingredients list is short and sweet which I appreciate. These are gluten and dairy-free. My only gripe is that there’s cane sugar listed as an ingredient but then there’s zero grams of sugar in one round.

Overall
Give it a try!
For anyone on a low-carb diet these sausages are an easy breakfast option. They’d be perfect for camping and I think they’ll also make excellent egg sandwiches.

We bought these patties mainly for making a quick breakfast sandwich using either english muffins or bagles. They don’t shrink and are the perfect size. They really resemble the local fast food fare. We have also broken up a finished patty to add to scrambled eggs either alone or in wraps with salsa and shredded cheese.
Our family loves them. I often heat them up on bbq – but I also cook lots on it as well. A favourite is in a waffle sandwich with egg.
These sausage patties make great McMuffin-style egg/sausage/cheese and English muffin sandwiches. I dont find them greasy. Also good with pancakes, waffles, etc.
Love you site! How many sausages in a box? Since I only eat one at a meal I can then gauge how long they’ll last.
Thanks and keep up the excellent work!!
At 1.2 kg, 60g per sausage should be 20 per box, I wish it was 24 so it would fit our breakfast rotation with 2 dozen eggs and a 24 pack of english muffins, lol.
I find them a little bland so I like to dust them up with a pile of freshly ground pepper and/or a seasoning mix. I personally keep them in the air fryer a couple minutes longer than the recommended time, just to brown a bit more and because I like them a bit dryer too so… depends on a person’s palate 🙂
How long do you keep them in air fryer and what temp.?
I tried these and didn’t like them. Ended up throwing the box in the garbage (which ended up costly).
Costco accepts returns of items, even if they have been opened and a half eaten. If Costco is close enough by, always return and get your money back!

I would assume you can still air fry them. You’re just heating them us as they were are pre-cooked anyway.
I buy the costco sausage. Cook them in airfryer from frozen. For nine minutes. Better then restaurant. I suggest because there precooked put them in airfryer for 7 min at 380 d
