@bdskelly thanks for the post that got me to try this! @pops6927 thanks for the awesome spice mix recipe. I had about 4.5 lbs. of already ground pork I needed to use up so this is shortcut sausage but delicious nonetheless.
Mixed up a batch of Pops breakfast sausage spice mix with a little extra pepper flakes.
Spices mixed into about 4.5 lbs. of ground pork. It is very lean so my wife will actually eat it LOL. After a couple test fries I actually used about 2 TBSP's per lbs. Perhaps because it is so lean and virtually nothing cooks away it took a little extra spice.
Portioned out into 1/4 lbs. balls getting ready to patty up.
Patties made up , not perfect but decent job with our little Pampered Chef patty tool. Three lbs. will go to the freezer and the rest left out to eat today / tomorrow.
Made a plate for my wife. Mine has at least double this in portions lol. Cheese omelet with cheddar and roasted red peppers, the fresh sausage patty and a keto Birchbenders low carb pancake with butter and sugar free maple syrup. First time we tried these, they are AMAZING!!
We rarely eat breakfast so this was a real treat. Now that I have dipped my toe into the sausage making waters I am going to move on up to making some brats in the next couple weeks.
Thanks for looking.
