Breakfast Sausage Seasoning
- 4 tsp kosher salt
- 4 tsp maple sugar
- 2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
- 2 tsp dried thyme leaves
- 2 tsp ground rosemary

Mix: In a small bowl, combine all of the spices together, until blended.
Add Meat: In another bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of spice blend for every 1 pound of meat. Mix well.
To Store: Place a sheet of plastic wrap on the counter. Add 1 pound of sausage on the plastic and roll it into a log, twisting both ends. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.
Cook: Remove the plastic from the sausage and slice it into 8 patties. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping a few times, until they are brown on the outside and no longer pink on the inside.
This recipe makes 4 tablespoons of seasoning, which is enough for 2 pounds of sausage.
If you slice your sausage into thinner patties, they will only take about 10 minutes to cook. Thicker patties will take a bit longer.
