[Recipe] Breakfast Sausage

When we were living in California, we used to like Jimmy Dean spicy sausage as a frequent side for breakfast.  Now that we live in Ecuador, we can no longer get Jimmy Dean.  Some searching on the web, and a bit of tweaking on my own, and we now have breakfast sausage whenever we want them.  I think I like this version even better than Jimmy Dean. Easy to make, and quite cheap too.  Nice combo! 🙂

Ingredients
  • 1 lb Ground Pork

  1. Blend everything evenly into the pork.
