Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Ground sage
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Olive oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, salt, black pepper, ground sage, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and brown sugar.
Use clean hands or a spatula to thoroughly combine the ingredients, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (approximately 2 ounces each) and shape them into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, arrange the sausage patties in a single layer in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the sausages hot alongside eggs, toast, or pancakes for a hearty breakfast. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
