Recipe Tips.

Serve this sausage as a breakfast side or as the patty in English muffins to make Breakfast Sandwiches.

Test the flavor by cooking a small amount of the mixture; add any spices as needed.

Prep ahead of time. Mix the sausage with the spices and keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage freeze for up to 6 months.
