These county-style patties are so simple to prepare. You'll never again settle for store-bought versions that are loaded with preservatives and not nearly as good.

2 teaspoons ground sage
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 teaspoons pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar

Directions

In a bowl, combine all ingredients; mix well. Shape into eight 4-in. patties. In a skillet over medium heat, fry patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned or until no longer pink in the center.

A little too much sage, but it was ok. Next time I will use less sage and I think they will be amazing!

I doubled the cayenne to make it a little more spicy. Very good!

This was very simple but tasty. I need to alter the amount of spices as it was a little over-powering. The combination of spices was great though. I did add a little ground coriander as well, about 1/2 tsp. for a half batch. A great alternative and lower in sodium and other fillers than other sausage links or patties.
