Breakfast Sausage Patties

Ingredients

• •1 lb ground pork
• •1 tsp sage
• •1/2 tsp black pepper
• •1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• •1/2 tsp salt
• •1 tsp brown sugar
• •1 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps

1. 1.Gently mix the ground pork with sage, pepper, red pepper flakes, salt, and brown sugar - overmixing is what makes sausage patties dense instead of tender.
2. 2.Form into small patties and chill for 15 minutes to help them hold together - the salt is what actually seasons the meat, which most quick versions skip.
3. 3.Cook in oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through.
4. 4.Serve hot.
