Notes

Fresh, high-quality ground pork makes a significant difference in flavor and texture. You can freeze uncooked patties for up to three months; just place them on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag.
This sausage pairs wonderfully with eggs, pancakes, or as a filling for breakfast sandwiches. Enjoy!
