Yield 8 Patties

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons canned diced green chili peppers
1 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoons vinegar
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/8 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoons ground red pepper
1/2 pound lean ground pork or beef

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the egg, onion, garlic, green chili peppers, cilantro, vinegar, chili powder, salt and ground red pepper. Add the ground pork or beef and mix well.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality sausage. Look for sausage that is made with fresh, flavorful meat and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sausage. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • If you're using a cast iron skillet, be sure to preheat it over medium-high heat before adding the sausage.
  • Cook the sausage until it is browned on all sides and cooked through. This will ensure that it is safe to eat.
  • Drain the sausage on paper towels before adding it to the other ingredients in your recipe.
  • Season the sausage with your favorite spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Serve the sausage immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
