Way too salty. Cut back on Braggs or all you taste is braggs. It smelled delicious but tasted like braggs. I didn't even use the cayenne because I didn't have it.

I love this recipe! I have been vegan for over 10 years and have probably tried every store bought vegan sausage available. I even bought a few vegetarian ones. (Sshhh, don't tell.) I couldn't find one that I liked. I have used it in sausage gravy so far, but will definitely find other uses for this fantastic recipe.

I absolutely love this recipe! I made some breakfast burritos and this 'breakfast sausage ' added hit the spot and craving. I only sprayed 1 dash of Braggs liquid aminos, and it turned out fine!

Love, love this. Turned out great. Mix and match whatever seasonings you have for italian sausage, breakfast sausage, greek, indian curry, etc. I reduced the braggs to 1 tablespoon and it was still plenty salty for me, could probably even use less. My meat-loving husband even loved this, so will be using this recipe often. This recipe is actually closer to 2 servings though, nowhere near the listed 8 servings. But still delicous.

This was fantastic! I can't tell you how excited I am abut this recipe. I have been a vegetarian for 13 years and the only meat I miss is sausage. All the products on the market just don't cut it for me. This can be put on pizza, in a lasagna, the uses are endless. I plan on making a double batch next time and freezing it. One note, I used soy sauce and 3T was too much for my taste. I will cut back on that. Thanks so very much for sharing your recipe.
