My husband likes sausage. I'll eat it occasionally, but I always prefer bacon. I recently went to buy some sausage, and made the mistake of looking at the ingredients - corn syrup, MSG, BHA. Those definitely aren't healthy, and they're not necessary. It's possible to get sausage without those extra things but it's pretty spendy, so I ended up getting some ground pork and resolving to make my own breakfast sausage. The internet has quite a few recipes available, but many of them called for ingredients I didn't have. I finally found one that looked fairly simple, and modified it to work with the ground pork I had gotten.
Breakfast Sausage - adapted from
this recipe
1 lb ground pork
1/4 tsp salt**
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp sage
1/8 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp thyme
1 oz water**
Mix pork with spices.
Shape into patties. Cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through, 10-15 minutes.
Enjoy! Patties may be frozen for quick and easy breakfasts.
**The ground pork I bought had added water and salt :( , so I cut down on these ingredients.
