Sausage Ingredients
Method
Sausage Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Sausage Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, dried sage, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- 2
Add Maple Syrup
Add maple syrup to the mixture and combine thoroughly. The syrup adds a hint of sweetness to balance the savory flavors.
- 3
Prepare Casings
Rinse the pork casings under cold water and soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes. This will make them easier to handle and stuff.
- 4
Stuff the Sausages
Using a sausage stuffer, carefully fill the casings with the sausage mixture. Be sure not to overfill, as the sausages will expand while cooking. Tie off the ends securely.

Cook the Sausages
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausages for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
