This homemade Breakfast Sausage is made with ground pork and seasonings, like herbs, garlic, and paprika. You can make it ahead of time and freeze it to always have it on hand!
½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, ¼ teaspoon rosemary, ¼ teaspoon thyme, ¼ teaspoon sage, ½ teaspoon paprika
Mix it thoroughly. Use your hands for best results.
You can chill the mixture for up to 12 hours or use right away.
Using an spring scoop or ¼ cup, scoop mixture and form into ½" thick patties OR scoop 2 tablespoons of pork mixture and form into links.
Heat up a tablespoon of vegetable or olive oil in a pan and fry sausage on both sides until nicely brown and cooked through.
Serve right away or cool completely and freeze.
Notes
If you are using lean ground pork (80% lean), there might be not enough fat in it to make the sausage juicy. Add 3 to 4 slices of bacon, chopped to the sausage mixture before forming into patties.
Prep the mixture as stated in the recipe, form into patties, and freeze on freezer paper-lined baking sheet, then place in a freezer bag OR fry in pan, cool completely, then freeze. Thaw it in the fridge and cook in a pan before serving.
