HOMEMADE SAUSAGE SEASONING BLEND
A dry herb blend for giving any ground meat a "sausage" flavoring. Try this not only with ground pork, but also ground turkey, beef, or chicken. Adapted from a recipe that came with one of my pizza pans. Recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc as needed. Each batch is enough to season 1 pound of meat. Leave out the crushed red pepper flakes for milder sausage.

MICHAEL'S BREAKFAST SAUSAGE SEASONING MIX
My husband makes some of the best breakfast sausage I've ever had, and he was gracious enough to share the seasoning recipe! He doesn't make it too sweet on purpose--because I usually drench the sausage patties with maple syrup anyway--so if you prefer a sweeter variation, you could always add more brown sugar to taste. This seasoning amount is enough for 1 pound of ground pork.

HOMEMADE SEASONING FOR BREAKFAST SAUSAGE
This amount is just right to mix with 2 pounds of ground pork. I use one pound of regular ground pork and one pound of Extra Lean ground pork. This reduces the fat but keeps the flavor. Author: Queen Of The Red Doublewide (with some modifications)

Steps:
- Stir the spices together and mix into 2 pounds of ground pork. You can cook it right away but it tastes better if you refrigerate it for 3 to 24 hours to let the flavors blend together.
- Notes: I form the loaf into a roll, and freeze for a few hours just before cooking so I can slice it easily for cooking. You can also form in into patties and layer them with pieces of wax paper, then seal in a plastic bag for freezing. Then you can just take out individual servings. Try adding red pepper flakes for a spicier sausage, or maple syrup for a maple sausage.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh herbs and spices for the best flavor. If possible, buy your spices whole and grind them yourself just before using. This will give you the freshest, most flavorful seasoning blend.
- Experiment with different ratios: The ingredient ratios in this recipe are just a starting point. Feel free to adjust them to suit your own taste preferences. For example, if you like a spicier sausage, you could add more cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. Or, if you prefer a more savory sausage, you could add more garlic powder or onion powder.
- Toast the spices: Toasting the spices before grinding them will help to release their flavor. You can toast the spices in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or you can toast them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes.
- Store the seasoning blend properly: Store the seasoning blend in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Homemade sausage seasoning blend is a great way to add flavor to your favorite sausage recipes. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious seasoning blend that will take your sausage to the next level.
