Most people buy Breakfast sausage, but it’s real easy to make.Our first attempt created a sweet tasting sausage that I like.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 pound ground pork shoulder (Boston butt)
Directions
- Mix sage, thyme, brown sugar, salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a medium bowl and mix.
- Add pork and work spice mixture into meat with your hands until it’s very well blended.
- Measure out 1 ounce sized scoops and flatten into about ¼”-thick patties.
- Griddle sausage over medium-high heat until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook 2 minutes more.
NOTE:
If you do not have fresh sage or fresh thyme you can replace with
- 2 teaspoon Rubbed Sage
- 2 teaspoon Ground Thyme
