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!

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!
