sausageheavenoutdoors Enjoy making homemade sausage, Tasty way's to BBQ, smoking meats and poultry. See how northern Minnesota was settled and the life early homesteader's lived their lives and more!!

So you don’t have a grinder and that store bought sausage just isn’t doing it for you anymore. Most of us use pork sausage for stuffing for Thanksgiving stuffing. For me it’s a must have!! I have a grinder and make my own sausage all year long as most of you know. However I know some of you do not have a grinder and may be looking for a great recipe just to make a pound or two. Well here it is. All you need to do is buy some ground pork, and the seasonings, we usually have around the house. If not they are easy to get so let’s get to it.

Easy Tasty Pork Sausage

1 lb. ground pork
1 T brown sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp dried sage
1/8 tsp marjoram
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
pinch cayenne pepper [optional]
1 tsp smokehouse maple seasoning [optional] I use McCormicks [Grill Mates] Smokehouse Maple.

The cayenne is if you want a little heat and the Smokehouse Maple is of course if you want a little maple flavor in your sausage. In a large bowl, stir seasonings together with ground pork. Scoop into balls and form into patties. Fry in a nonstick skillet with a little cooking spray. Once they are done, put them on paper towels and serve as patties or just fry and chop the mix up as your frying into small pieces and use in your stuffing. Give it a try, you wont be disappointed. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!!!
