Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Ground sage
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Olive oil or vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, salt, black pepper, ground sage, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and brown sugar.

Step 2

Use clean hands or a spatula to thoroughly combine the ingredients, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (approximately 2 ounces each) and shape them into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, arrange the sausage patties in a single layer in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 7

Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the sausages hot alongside eggs, toast, or pancakes for a hearty breakfast. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
