Ingredients:
1. Ground Pork
The base of any good breakfast sausage is high-quality ground pork. Look for a lean pork with a good fat-to-lean ratio for the best texture and flavor. Ground pork can typically be found at your local butcher or grocery store.
2. Spices
The key to a flavorful southern breakfast sausage is in the spices. A combination of sage, thyme, black pepper, and red pepper flakes will give your sausage a perfect balance of savory and spicy.
3. Brown Sugar
To add a touch of sweetness to your sausage, brown sugar is a must. It will caramelize during cooking and add a depth of flavor to your dish.
4. Salt
Don't forget to add a little salt to enhance all the flavors in your sausage.
5. Vegetable Oil
To help bind the spices and pork together, a small amount of vegetable oil is needed.
Instructions:
1. Mix the spices
In a small bowl, mix together the sage, thyme, black pepper, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, and salt. This will create your signature spice blend for your sausage.
2. Combine the spices with the pork
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground pork and the spice mixture. Mix together until all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the pork.
3. Form into patties
Take handfuls of the pork mixture and shape into 2-inch patties. Place the patties on a plate or baking sheet.
4. Heat the oil
In a large skillet, heat a small amount of vegetable oil over medium heat.
5. Cook the sausage patties
Once the oil is hot, add the sausage patties to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned.
6. Serve and enjoy
Remove the patties from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade southern breakfast sausage!
Now that you have your very own southern breakfast sausage recipe, you can add your own spin to it by experimenting with different spice blends and ratios. Serve alongside some scrambled eggs, biscuits, and gravy for the ultimate southern breakfast experience.
