So the hubby's doctor has added yet another restriction to his diet....now we are to avoid anything that causes heartburn (caffeine, peppermint, chocolate, greasy foods) and anything with nitrates/nitrites (bacon, ham, deli meats, etc). This along with the fact that he his a super picky eater has really thrown a wrench into our daily meal plans. Since he loves bacon and sausage for breakfast and since these were not allowed on this new diet, I decided to try to make homemade breakfast sausage. This allows me to control how much fat is in the meat and obviously, I won't be added sodium nitrite. These came out so tasty!
Homemade Breakfast Sausage
1 pound ground pork (I buy a pork tenderloin and grind it using my Kitchenaid grinding attachment)
1 tsp dried sage
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Pinch ground nutmeg
Pinch cloves
Pinch red pepper flakes
1. Combine all ingredients and mix well to combine.
2. Make sausage patties.
3. Cook patties in skillet.
