Line a baking sheeting with foil or parchment. Place the ground meat in the middle and mix all the spices in. Optional: refrigerate the mixture for an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Use your hand to pat everything down to your desired thickness. I aim for about a 1/2 inch. Use a biscuit cutter, mason jar, or drinking glass to create patties.
Preheat your (skillet or griddle) and cook the patties until the bottom has a sear and it is cooked halfway through. Flip! Cook until no pink remains.
Baking Instructions

Notes
Want to make a bit sweeter sausage? Try adding 2 tsp brown sugar or 1 tbsp of maple syrup to the mix.Give the mix an hour in the fridge to rest and let the ingredients settle and the flavors to meld.Cook thoroughly, cool, and freeze for super easy breakfasts. Heat in the microwave for 25-30 seconds for a fast start to your day.If you want to freeze patties uncooked, freeze on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Once fully frozen, remove from the parchment and transfer to a freezer bag.
