Home Made Country Style Pork Sausage

Home Made Country Style Pork Sausage

I really like sausage, but even some of the "best" sausage out there has nasty chemicals and a lot of sodium, ie., table salt in it.  Yuck!  Or, if a "natural" sausage can be found, it's horrendously expensive!

However, making sausage from scratch is really not difficult and then I know exactly what is in it.

Home Made Country Style Pork Sausage

In a mixing bowl, with an electric mixer or by hand, combine:

1 1/4 pounds ground pork (ground turkey or beef may be used instead)
1/2 tablespoon ground sage
2 teaspoons Everything Seasoning (or Adobo seasoning or a seasoning salt blend made without msg, sugar or table salt if there's one out there!)
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Sprinkle the seasonings evenly over the ground pork, or they will tend to be in clumps in the sausage.  Not pleasant!

Once the sausage is uniformly mixed, it can be formed into patties, crumbled and cooked, or used in any recipe calling for pork sausage.

Enjoy!
