Breakfast Sausage From Homesick Texan Recipes

BACON-MOLASSES BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Stir together the pork, bacon, molasses, smoked paprika, brown sugar, salt, sage, and black pepper until well combined.
• Heat up a skillet over medium heat and cook a small spoonful of the sausage for a couple of minutes on each side. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if necessary.
• Once you're satisfied with the flavor balance, refrigerate the mixture for an hour for the flavors to come together. To cook the sausage, form it into 2-inch-wide, 1/4-inch-thick patties and fry over medium-high heat until both sides are brown and crisp, 5 minutes per side.
• The sausage will keep in the refrigerator for a week uncooked, and it can also be frozen uncooked for 3 months.
