Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds ground pork
3-4 strips bacon diced
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg optional
2 tablespoons maple syrup optional
1-2 tablespoons oil

Instructions

In a medium bowl you will add your pork and diced bacon. Mix to combine.
Next you will add in the sage, thyme, garlic powder, salt, pepper, nutmeg and then add in the maple syrup if you want.
Mix well with your hands and form into patties. I made 12 sausage patties.
Add oil into a skillet and heat on medium heat. Once hot add your sausage into the pan and cook in batches.
Brown the sausage on the outside and ensure the internal temperature is 145 degrees F to ensure the pork is fully cooked.
Repeat cooking patties until they are all cooked. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Maple Syrup - This is optional. I love adding it in for a sweet twist to the sausage.

Spicy Sausage - Add in some red pepper flakes to make a spicy breakfast sausage.
