McDonald's Sausage McMuffin Complete Information

A McDonald's Sausage McMuffin costs $2.99 and carries 400 calories with 14g of protein. A seasoned pork sausage patty and American cheese on a toasted, buttered English muffin. No egg.

No egg is what makes this the cheapest hot breakfast sandwich McDonald's sells at $2.99, and it anchors the McValue breakfast bundle: the Sausage McMuffin Meal Deal adds Hash Browns and a drink for $5.99, which is the cheapest complete breakfast on the entire board. The sausage patty is the same one used across the breakfast menu, seasoned with sage and black pepper. Add the egg and it becomes the Sausage McMuffin with Egg at $4.99, which carries considerably more protein. Pair it with Hash Browns, or step across to the Egg McMuffin at $5.64 for the leaner Canadian bacon build.
