Nothing beats homemade! These sausage patties are so so easy to make and they’re also freezer-friendly. Win-win!
Not sure if it’s the New Year, or if it’s the quarantine-lockdown-stay-at-home-order, but I’ve been making A LOT of things from scratch.
Pizza dough. Rosemary bread. Sourdough biscuits. Pasta. English muffins. Hamburger buns. (recipes for the latter all coming soon). I HAVE BEEN MAKING ALL OF IT CONSTANTLY.
Now I can add sausage patties to the list. And believe me when I tell you that it is so hard to beat homemade.
With just a few spices, ground pork and bacon (yes, we need just a little bit of bacon fat here!), these guys are simply perfect. Not to mention, they are completely freezer-friendly, giving you 100% breakfast insurance down the road.

Instructions
1. SAGE MIXTURE: In a small bowl, combine sage, thyme, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
2. In a large bowl, combine pork, bacon, maple syrup and SAGE MIXTURE; be careful not to over mix.
3. To shape the patties, scoop out 1/4 cup (about 2 ounces) of pork mixture and flatten to create 2 1/2- to 3-inch wide patties, forming about 16 patties.*
4. Heat canola oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add sausage patties and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
