To sign "sausage," start with both hands in front of your chest, forming 'S' or tight 'C' shapes as if you are grasping a thick tube. Bring your hands close together, then pull them apart horizontally to the sides. As you move your hands outward, squeeze them open and closed a few times. This motion mimics the shape of a string of sausage links.
Sign 'breakfast' (eat + morning), 'eggs', and then use the squeezing, pulling-apart motion for 'sausage' to describe your meal.
Sign 'pizza', point to the person for 'you', sign 'want', and then sign 'sausage' by pulling your squeezing hands apart. Remember to raise your eyebrows since this is a yes/no question.
Sign 'cook' and then 'sausage' using the repeated squeezing motion to show the links being prepared. You can emphasize the squeezing to show there are many sausages.

Yes, it can be! The sign for 'sausage' is often used interchangeably with 'hot dog,' though 'hot dog' can also be signed with just a single squeeze and pull, or simply fingerspelled depending on the context.
Usually, two or three squeezes as you pull your hands apart is perfect. You don't need to overdo it; just enough to clearly show a few links in the chain.
You can use either 'S' hands or tight 'C' hands. The most important part is the grasping and squeezing motion, making it look as if you are holding the actual sausage links.
