Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1.5 teaspoons ground sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground pork with 1.5 teaspoons of ground sage, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, and 0.25 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of dried thyme, 0.5 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 0.25 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder to the bowl.
Using your hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed throughout the ground pork.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, approximately 3 inches in diameter. Try to ensure that each patty is of similar thickness for even cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, place the patties in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
Serve immediately as part of a delicious breakfast, or let them cool and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
