Red; Make sure you get a good BLEND of pork and fat in that sausage. Most grocery stroes sell the 90% lean ground pork...which is too lean. It does not stay tohgether for patties...and it does not have enough fat for your diet.

Ask at the butcher counter if they can give you the same "blend" they use for their breakfast sausage. If they cannot...go to a butcher shop and get it.

I get mine locally at a butcher shop. Is very easy that way...and all you do is add in the spices.

My next breakfast sausage batch , I am going to try adding several pkts of splenda and see if it sweetens it enough to "taste".

You can add in 2-3 tablespoons of water also to ease mixing.

Is just like making meatloaf as to "technique".
Enjoy!
Best wishes;
