Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Meat

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork and ground beef. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix them thoroughly until evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Add the Spices

    Add the salt, black pepper, ground sage, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes to the meat mixture. Mix well until all spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

  3. 3

    Incorporate the Liquids

    Pour in the maple syrup and apple cider vinegar. Mix again until the liquids are fully incorporated into the meat mixture.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Form Patties

    Shape the sausage mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You can make them smaller or larger depending on your preference.

  2. 5

    Cook the Sausages

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove the sausages from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel for a minute. Serve hot with your favorite breakfast sides.
