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! 🙂

Recipe type: Breakfast
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Pork
- ¾ tsp Sage
- ¼ tsp Thyme
- ½ tsp Pepper
- ¾ tsp Salt
- ¾ tsp Parsley
- ¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- ¼ tsp Nutmeg
Instructions
- Blend everything evenly into the pork.
- Best if left in fridge overnight before cooking.
- NOTE: I usually make enough mix of the seasonings for 10 batches and store it in a jar. I can then spoon out 3-1/2 tablespoons of the mix into one pound of ground pork.
