I bought some pre-cooked sausage patties once or twice for my
brother when he was here. One was the Kroger brand and the
other was from Walmart. The one from Wally World was packaged
as 'spicy.' Neither were spicy or flavorful; about all I can say is they
were ground pork. Both are quite disappointing. One reason I bought
them is they're larger patties than what you can slice off a 1-pound roll.

Today I plopped two in a skillet to brown them a bit as I always do.
But I opted for a light shake on each side of garlic & herb seasoning.
This is just like the Mrs. Dash stuff but a different brand. Oh boy, what
a difference, just what these sad patties needed! Next time I will go a
bit more with the seasoning as I wasn't sure they would even be fit to eat.

I've also purchased Kroger's grilled and cubed chicken breasts to eat
in a salad. They are to be placed in a skillet with ¼ cup of water,
covered, and heated for about 12 minutes. They smell wonderful
when the bag is opened but are just too bland once heated. The
second time I heated them I added 4 or 5 healthy shakes of
McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Chicken Seasoning and proceeded.
Another hit and super flavorful!

I always thought those pre-cooked sausage patties were intended to be
re-heated in the microwave rather than cooked in a skillet. <srhug> Not
that they'd taste any better, just sayin'. I'm glad you found a way
to make them taste better.

I once bought some pre-cooked link breakfast sausages, I don't recall
the brand. They were weird. Nothing would have helped; fortunately
there were only 6 in a package.

I throw them in a skillet as they are just too 'blonde' for me. I like them
more browned and of course that heats them thoroughly but so would
the microwave.

Thankfully, they did turn out lip-smacking.

I don't know why but I much prefer link breakfast sausages to patties.
And yes, cooked from raw. Neither one of the pre-cooked (microwaved or
not) ever tasted good to me. I'm glad you found a way to make them
palatable.

I used to microwave the precooked links or patties. Decent enough to me.

Lately, I'll buy those 1 lb rolls of raw breakfast sausage. Rather then
slice off patties to cook, I smash the entire pound into one giant
sausage that fits in my largest frying pan.

I cook it then cut into squares to eat and freeze for future meals.

One favorite snack is one slice of buttered toast, folded in half with 2
halves of a sausage patty to fill it.

I like toast with a light smear of mustard on each side with two sausage
patties filling the gap. Some like this using biscuits instead of toast, it's
ok, but I prefer toast.

I prefer the patties that I make myself... I don't want any mystery
meat sausage. Grinding pork butt with Italian herb seasoning and a
bit of crushed red pepper is very easy and forming patties is as easy
as forming burgers... no need to mess with casings. Sometimes I'll
use the sausage meat to make meat balls. I make Italian Saw-Seege, we
don't care for breakfast sausage, neither of us likes sage. I like to
keep a good supply of ground meat patties in the freezer, what's for
dinner is always an easy decision, sometimes just need to check for
Kaiser rolls. Dinner tonight is yesterdays left overs, meat-a-balles,
in home made tomato sauce with rotelle.

Bacon grease does that to other foods as well.

A lot of prepared food is bland deliberately. You can always doctor
it up, but can't do much if its already loaded with too much stuff,
especially hot peppers.

I swear I think these sausage patties were made with 5 pounds of ground
pork and ¼ teaspoon of each seasoning that would be used for breakfast
sausage. Thankfully they're not salty but they sure ain't tasty without a
bit of doctoring.

Even the Walmart brand that is labeled as 'spicy' was like eating baby
food.

Your seasoning proportions are probably pretty accurate for a lot
of these items

Even restaurants often serve baby food. I've known guys that carry
a tiny bottle of hot sauce when eating at a mexican joint.

You can make bulk sausage into arbitrarily large patties. It might
require getting your hands a little greasy.

I've done that a couple of times but then the patties were kinda tough
once they were cooked. I guess I handled them too much, but greasy
hands don't bother me. That's what soap and water are for! )

Incredible! McCormick? They're based in Hunt Valley, Maryland. I think of crab feasts there. How'd they end up talking about Montreal. Maryland isn't exactly a french canadian speaking area.

There are various seasoning blends inspired by the taste of Montreal-style
smoked meat. Not all such blends are made by McCormick.

Moreover, how about if a Montreal spice company start making old bay seasoning? Gimmie a break. I hear also that a lot of Maryland crabs actually came from the Gulf of Mexico.

They can't call it Old Bay, because that's trademarked. Other spice purveyors have their
own, similar mix. For example:

<https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/chesapeake-bay-seasoning/c-24/p-363/pd-s>

Personally, I dislike a lot of Penzey's spice mixes because they have too much celery
and ancho chile in them.

They could legally call it 'Bay seasoning'. Which is a place, just like Montreal is a place, er, excuse me.. Montréal.
