Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the sausage mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground sausage meat, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the sausage

    Using your hands, shape the sausage mixture into patties, links, or crumbles, depending on your preference. Aim for about 2-3 inches in diameter for patties.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Cook the sausage

    Add the shaped sausage to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

  5. 5

    Garnish and serve

    Once cooked, remove the sausage from the skillet. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your homemade sausage on a bun, with eggs, or on its own!
