Homemade Breakfast Sausage (Southern At Heart)

By zircon50

Ingredients

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon anise seed
• 1 pound ground pork

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a cast-iron griddle pan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray.

Mix together the brown sugar, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, pepper, salt and anise seed in a large bowl. Add the ground pork and mix gently until well-combined.

Portion the sausage mixture using a heaping 1/4 cup measure and flatten each sausage into a 3-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick.

Sear the sausages on the hot griddle pan until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
