Description

A delicious breakfast sausage that’s good anytime!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Fresh Ground Pork (not Too Lean)
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper, Or To Taste
  • ½ teaspoons Sage Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Fresh Coarsely Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Coriander
  • ½ teaspoons Thyme
  • ½ teaspoons Marjoram
  • ½ teaspoons Rosemary (ground Or Whole)

Preparation

Place the ground pork into a large plastic mixing bowl, add all the ingredients/spices and begin mixing by hand. (It helps if your ground pork is at room temperature or you’re gonna have some numb fingers!). Make sure the ingredients are well-mixed.

Set out two or three squares of plastic wrap…the thicker the better…then divide the pork sausage onto the plastic squares and begin molding them into a log shape. Wrap the plastic over the pork sausage “logs” and begin rolling them on your work surface so you have uniform tubular shaped logs. Then place them into the freezer and freeze overnight.

(I place mine on the rack since it makes it easier to slice off the patties).

Remove the frozen sausage from the freezer and slice into 1/2 inch patties. Add a small amount of cooking oil to the pan (not needed if the pork is fairly fatty), put in your patties and fry until lightly browned on both sides.

Enjoy!

The servings listed above is only a guess. It totally depends on how thick or thin you slice your patties and how big the diameter of a pork sausage “roll” you made.

You hit the nail on the head with this recipe. OUTSTANDING!. Made 8 lbs today. Jimmy Dean would be jealous.

Got to be honest with you Jeeem. You scare me a bit.

I should have added a little background for this recipe…

Initially I did several Internet searches for Jimmy Dean’s Copy Cat Sausage recipe and finally settled on one. After preparing it I found the taste was nothing like what I remembered, so I began fiddling with the recipe a bit…

The result?

About four months later I finally nailed it. I added ingredients, omitted ingredients, substituted, cross-referenced, upped, downsized, expanded, contracted…and finally wham! There it was.

Tip: Never add garlic to a pork sausage recipe…yuck.

So, looking back at the original recipe I’d kept from my initial search, I found my recipe I’d concocted was nothing like it…

Also, I have severe reactions to MSG, however, I tried the 1/2 teaspoon in this recipe just because it was such a small amount and found that not only did it not have any effect on me, it really added to the flavor!

We LOVE this sausage! So much better than store bought, at a fraction of the price. The only thing I changed, is I put a little brown sugar in recipe…
BTW: I love your picture jeeem!
