These country-style patties are so simple to prepare. You'll never again settle for store-bought pork sausage that's loaded with preservatives—and not nearly as good. —Bertha Bench, Mineral Wells, Texas

Ingredients

2 pounds ground pork
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 lightly but thoroughly. Shape into eight 4-in. patties.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook patties until a thermometer reads 160°, 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove to paper towels to drain.
Freeze option: Prepare uncooked patties and freeze, covered, on a foil-lined baking sheet until firm. Transfer patties to a freezer container; return to freezer. To use, cook frozen patties as directed, increasing time as necessary for a thermometer to read 160°.
