Last week on the blog I reviewed the Costco Kirkland Signature Five Cheese Tortelloni, Costco Don Pancho Cilantro Lime Crema and the Costco Del Real Foods Pork Carnitas.

I’ve seen these breakfast sausage rounds at my Costco for such a long time but have never picked them up to review until now!
I paid $16.99 Canadian for the 1.2-kilogram box, which isn’t bad, there’s quite a few sausages in the box!
The rounds need to be kept frozen and the best-before date is about 7 months from when I purchased them. To cook the sausages place them in a frying pan with a bit of oil and cook them for about 8 to 10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. These are great as a side with pancakes or waffles or can be cut up and put in a breakfast casserole or egg dish, they’re also perfect to make homemade breakfast sandwiches.
There is 160 calories, 14 grams of fat, zero grams of carbohydrates, zero grams of fibre, zero grams of sugar, eight grams of protein and 290 milligrams. The sodium isn’t as high as I expected. They’re not low in calories or fat which I kind of already suspected based on the taste. The ingredients list is short and sweet with pork being the main ingredient. They’re gluten-free and the pork is Canadian farm-raised without the use of antibiotics.
These taste exactly like a typical breakfast sausage, they’re very salty and flavorful (from all the salt). The texture is a bit chewy but not rubbery and there are no hard or fatty bits in the pieces I tried. They’re definitely a bit greasy but it leaves you wanting more like a lot of salty greasy foods food. I like the taste but try not to eat too much of things like this.
Cost: 7/10
Convenience: 8.5/10
Nutrition: 3/10
Taste: 8/10
These are great for making a homemade version of a McDonald’s Egg McMuffin. However, they shouldn’t be eaten regularly—they’re too ultra-processed for frequent consumption. Unless you’re running a restaurant, they don’t have much of a place in our household otherwise.
Hiw many sausage rounds are in each box?
Can anyone tell me how many are roughly in a box
I luv sammiches.
For those following a low-carb diet, these are an excellent choice. I would respectfully point out that your nutrition scores are based *only* on your personal opinions/choices and may not be relevant to those of us who are following different food paths.
Not everyone is sodium-restricted, not everyone is fat or calorie restricted, and so forth. I am a fan of your reviews in every other sense, they are valuable resources for all of us, and I appreciate the hard work that you do, and the excellent quality of your reviews in general. I’m also aware that you can’t tailor reviews for every diet out there, lol. It would be impossible!
I just hope that everyone who sees your reviews in terms of nutrition takes the time to read the labels that you helpfully provide, and makes their own choices based on their own nutritional guidelines and needs.
Cheers, and have a great rest of the summer!
While I respect your opinion, Sherry Bellamy, I have to disagree and normally I don’t make comments online but I found this site recently and I have to dismiss your recommendation.
This product is not an “excellent choice” for anyone on any kind of diet and certainly not for adults. It’s basically heavily processed junk food and isn’t backed by any dietitian or nutritionist. It might be okay as a casual winter treat for serving a large family in moderation, maybe once every three months or so, but it’s not a nutritious option.
For those avoiding processed foods, everyone should seek out better alternatives, but most importantly, become educated on what these processed and ultra-processed foods do to your body because it’s not just an opinion, it’s science based.
We love these for camping!! They also make fantastic egg sandwhiches as you said because of the size they fit perfectally. They were just on sale.. can’t remember how much we paid. My son requested egg sandwhiches as soon as he saw these were in sale.
