Breakfast Sausage

While I haven't gone "extreme" in "natural" things, I have just recently REALLY grown tired of the absolute garbage that Jimmy Dean puts in the sausage we cook and eat because of "convenience."  I was FED UP and so comes this following recipe for some AMAZING pork breakfast sausage! 

5 lbs porkloin, ground (your butcher or meat dept should be able to do this for you)

4 t salt

4 t sage

4 t thyme

1 t rosemary

2 T brown sugar

1 t nutmeg

1 t cayenne pepper

1 t red pepper flakes

3 T oil

Grind pork loin with meat grinder.  In a food processor, combine the spices listed.  Make them powder.  In a large bowl hand mix everything until well blended.  Divide out into 1 lb packages and freeze until ready to use. 

Notes:  I use this for lasagna, chili, etc.  It's so yummy!
