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.

HOMEMADE FRENCH FRY SEASONING BLEND
http://www.examiner.com Recipe by cooking examiner Kristin King. "This homemade seasoning blend combines salty, sweet, smoky and spicy flavors - no ketchup necessary. Whether one is making homemade French fries or using frozen, this seasoning blend can be sprinkled on at the end or cooked onto the fry. Either way, this recipe makes enough to have on hand whenever your in the mood for fries. This seasoning blend combines a myriad of spices that all shine through when you bite into the fry. The secret ingredient in this recipe is a touch of sugar. Sugar brings out the salty sweet aspect that many people love so much. The other secret ingredient to this recipe is Penzey's Old World Seasoning Blend. Similar to a seasoning salt, Penzey's seasoning blend has celery salt which adds a nice subtle flavor. Penzey's spices can be ordered online or one can visit their store in Richmond, Virginia. If Penzey's is out of the question, use a good quality seasoning salt with a small pinch of celery salt."
