Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground pork
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Sage (dried)
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Thyme (dried)
- 2 tablespoons Water (cold)
Instructions
Place the ground pork in a large mixing bowl.
Add the salt, black pepper, sage, cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, paprika, sugar, and thyme to the bowl.
Pour in the cold water to help bind the seasonings with the meat.
Using clean hands or a sturdy spatula, mix the pork and seasonings thoroughly until evenly combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for the flavors to meld.
To cook, heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly oil the surface.
For sausage patties: divide the mixture into 8 equal portions, shape into patties, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
For sausage crumble: crumble the sausage mixture into small pieces in the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked.
Serve immediately or cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
