A savory pork sausage patty between two maple-flavored griddle cakes.
The Sausage McGriddles is the simplest McGriddles sandwich: a hot pork sausage patty between two maple-infused griddle cakes. The sweet cakes and the peppery sausage are a classic pancake-and-sausage pairing in sandwich form.
Because there is no egg or cheese it costs about a dollar less than the other McGriddles, which makes it one of the cheaper ways to get a sweet breakfast at McDonald’s.
