Yesterday we had some trouble at the grocery store… we wanted breakfast sausage for brunch, but we found ourselves cringing while reading the ingredient labels – what else is new?! We couldn’t find anything without MSG, sugar, preservatives, etc. We improvised, and with a little bit of luck, we came up with a simple and delicious solution!
Breakfast Sausage Seasoning:
Some recipes just take a few simple ingredients, and this is certainly one of them…
Here’s what you’ll need:
2 tsp Italian seasoning (or half sage and half thyme)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp nutmeg
All you have to do is combine the ingredients and add it to 1 lb of lean ground meat of choice (we used ground pork).
If you’re feeling fancy…
Add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper for a little kick
or
Allow ground meat to marinade in the spices overnight to maximize the flavors
or
use freshly chopped sage or thyme instead
