Wow, this is good. I used dry herbs so I cut the amounts in half. The next time I make it I’m going to cut the heat back a bit. I found them to be a little “hot” for my breakfast pallet.

this is my new sausage recipe. Just take care not to overcook. Since the sausage is so fine (at least the way I did it it can dry up quickly. Delicious. No overwhelming flavors, you can taste the delicious pork. I used boneless country style ribs (on sale rather than buy the 10lb bone-in shoulder butt. AB is the KING.
