Breakfast Sausage

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com, and it makes really good sausage. I like lots of spices in my sausage, so it tastes best when I use rounded measurements. You can use just about any kind of ground meat you would like. If you use low-fat meat, add a little oil (olive, safflower, etc. - something healthy) so the sausage is not dry (maybe a tablespoon or two).

2 teaspoons dried sage
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pinch ground cloves
2 pounds ground pork

In a small, bowl, combine the sage, salt, ground black pepper, marjoram, brown sugar, crushed red pepper and cloves. Mix well.

Place the pork in a large bowl and add the mixed spices to it. Mix well with your hands and form into patties.

Saute the patties in a large skillet over medium high heat for 5 minutes per side, or until internal pork temperature reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

FREEZER DIRECTIONS:
Freeze raw or cooked. If freezing cooked be careful not to overcook before freezing.

LOW IODINE DIET DIRECTIONS:
Use non-iodized salt and any type of LID-safe ground meat that you would like. Make sure to use REAL brown sugar, not granulated sugar with molasses added to it.
