Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend cornmeal with 1 cup of chicken broth in a small container.
- Brown the sausage until crumbly in a skillet.
- Drain excess fat from the sausage.
- Add remaining chicken broth to the sausage and bring to a boil.
- Slowly stir in the cornmeal mixture, stirring constantly for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add sage, thyme, and savory, then reduce heat and continue stirring.

Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the best texture, ensure you stir the cornmeal mixture continuously to avoid lumps. You can substitute the pork sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option or use a plant-based sausage for a vegetarian version. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper during cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Sausage scrapple is delightful served with a side of scrambled eggs or alongside breakfast potatoes. For a heartier meal, serve it with toasted bread and a drizzle of hot sauce. It also pairs beautifully with Jimmie'S Hot Meat-Cheez Dip for a flavorful twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover scrapple in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best results when reheating, slice the scrapple and warm it in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, allowing it to crisp up on the edges for added texture.
