Fresh Ground Breakfast Sausage

The packages in my photo say 2021 because I wrote up this recipe back then but apparently never "published" it.
Making your own breakfast sausage can be an excellent way to cut costs in your grocery bill AND control what is going into your family's food.
It's important to use a "fatty" cut of pork. Something with at least a 80/20 fat content or even 75/25. Pork butt roast and nice, fatty pork steaks are just about perfect to these ratios so are the best options.
Now, this recipe calls for grinding the meat yourself, but if you don't have a meat grinder you can always use pre-ground pork or even ask your butcher to grind up the pork butt or steaks you choose. Just mix the seasonings into the meat and leave refrigerated 12-24 hrs before using.

Portion out meat for freezing:
Patties - form into patties roughly 2-4 oz in size. Lay out in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place in freezer until patties are frozen solid. Cut parchment around each patty. Stack patties 2-3 high with parchment layered between. Place in freezer bags, label, and return to freezer.
Bulk - divide into 3 equal portions, place in freezer bags, seal, label and freeze. You can also vacuum seal portions. - 6
To cook:
Patties can be thawed first or cooked from frozen. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
As bulk ground - let thaw completely. Cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking up to a crumble as you go. About 15 minutes. Or you can form into patties and cook as you would the pre-formed patties.
