Homemade Sausages
Homemade sausages made simply, from the perfect blend of herbs, spices, and ground pork. Protein-rich, surprisingly quick and easy breakfast.
Servings: 18 sausages
Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons garlic powder
- 4 teaspoons ground fennel
- 4 teaspoons ground sage
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoons hot paprika
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 pounds ground pork (or try 1 pound ground pork/1 pound ground beef)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, place all of the ingredients except for the ground meat (all of the spices), and whisk together until well-combined.
- Add the pork to the mixture and combine everything together with wet hands, taking care not to overwork the meat or it will be tough.
- Divide the mixture into 18 pieces, each about 2 ounces, and form each into a patty about 2-inches in diameter.
- Place a heavy-bottom, dry skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place as many sausage patties as will fit without crowding or overlapping at all in the hot skillet and sauté until browned on the bottom (4 to 5 minutes).
- Using a spatula, flip each of the sausages over and continue to cook, undisturbed, until cooked all the way through (about another 4 minutes).
- Remove the cooked sausages from the skillet, and repeat with the remaining ones.
