How to Make Homemade Breakfast Sausage

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons dried sage, 4 tablespoons salt, 2 tablespoons black pepper, 1 tablespoon marjoram, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon ground cloves. Mix thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, place 9 pounds of ground pork.
  3. Add the spice mixture to the ground pork.
  4. Gently mix with your hands until evenly combined. Form the mixture into 9 oblong rolls (approximately 1 pound each).
  5. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for enhanced flavor).
  6. Once chilled, slice the sausage rolls into 1/2-inch thick patties.
  7. Cook the sausage patties in a skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned. Alternatively, grill until cooked through.
  8. Before serving, test a cooked patty for seasoning and adjust if needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
