This blend of spices makes some of the yummiest breakfast sausages ever. It’s so simple to make, why not make your own?

Mix up a batch of this and keep it on hand for weekend breakfast sausages {or make up a batch of breakfast sausages on the weekend so you have already prepared sausages for breakfast during the week}. This seasoning would make a lovely homemade gift too!

how much of this mix do you use for 1 lb of sausage? It just says 1 serving…how much is a serving?

  The yield does say Yield: 1 serving per pound of ground meat. So the spice mix makes only 1 serving for 1 pound of ground meat; you use the full amount of the mixture for 1 pound of meat.

This is a quick, easy and delicious recipe! I used ground pork from one of our local farms–so nice to know what goes into our food! Next time I will reduce the salt just a bit. I used garlic powder instead of ginger, just personal preference, otherwise I followed the recipe. It is very quick to make. Thanks for a great recipe!

Just wondering why you don’t put garlic powder in this and instead you use fresh garlic?

  Hi Nancy, just because I usually have fresh garlic on hand, and it’s cheaper for me to buy than garlic powder. Of course you could swap it out and use garlic powder instead though. 🙂
