By Nicole Buckley
An American breakfast wouldn’t be complete without a hearty serving of breakfast meats. Whether you're whipping up breakfast at home or heading to the diner, we can’t get enough of our favorite breakfast meats. But what exactly are America’s favorite breakfast meats? Let’s break down the sizzling, savory options that Americans can’t seem to get enough of.
Bacon: The King of Breakfast Meats
Why do we love bacon so much? It’s all about the flavor – smoky, salty, and fatty. Let’s face it: Bacon reigns supreme. Its irresistible aroma and crunch are hard to beat, and it pairs perfectly with eggs, pancakes, and even in sandwiches like the famous bacon, egg, and cheese bagel.
Corned Beef Hash: A Classic Breakfast Dish
This traditional breakfast dish combines the rich, savory taste of corned beef with crispy, golden potatoes and onions. It’s the kind of meal that fills you up, makes your taste buds dance, and sets you on the right path for the day ahead. You can enjoy it on its own, or top it with a perfectly fried egg, add a sprinkle of your favorite hot sauce for a spicy kick, or even pair it with toast for that extra crunch.
Sausage: A Savory Sensation
Bacon may be the king, but sausage is a close contender. From classic breakfast links to patties and even crumbled sausage in your scrambled eggs, this breakfast meat adds a savory, spicy kick that many people love to wake up to.The juicy, flavorful nature of sausage makes it an ideal companion to a stack of pancakes. And let’s not forget about the delicious breakfast sandwiches that rely on sausage to bring the perfect combination of flavors together.
Ham: The Under-appreciated Classic
While bacon and sausage often steal the spotlight, ham is a breakfast meat that shouldn’t be overlooked. Whether it’s a slice of glazed ham, country ham, or even a chunk of smoked ham, this meat brings a bit of sweetness to the table.
Turkey Bacon and Turkey Sausage: The Lighter Option
All natural turkey bacon has 75% less fat than conventional pork bacon and nearly double the protein. This makes it the perfect option for people looking to reduce their fat consumption, or who are eating high-protein diets. Turkey bacon can be easily prepared on any cooking appliance you have available, one stove, in the oven, in the air fryer or even in the microwave.
No matter what meat you choose, one thing is certain: breakfast just wouldn’t be the same without it. So next time you’re planning your morning meal, remember to give your plate a little protein boost. Whether you're keeping it classic or trying something new, your taste buds are in for a treat.
