Hot Breakfast sausage

Ingredients:

• 16 ounces ground pork

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, depending on how hot you want it!)

• 1/2 teaspoon sage

• 1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

• 1/2 teaspoon coriander

• 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds

• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1/4 teaspoon msg (really helps with the flavor on this)

Directions:

• Mix all the ingredients until spices are well distributed.  

• Seal in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.  

• Test a sample prior to using.  I find the sausage needs two days in the fridge for the spices to be absorbed and distributed, but feel free to test after 1 day in the fridge.

• Can then be stored in the freezer and used another day.
