I don’t like sausage.
There, I said it. And, it’s true. But, not because I don’t like the taste of sausage. It’s more that I don’t like not knowing exactly what’s in it.
Doing a Google search on what’s in sausage is kind of like doing a Google search on your most recent ailment. You basically think you’re going to die if you eat it.
That’s a total exaggeration, but I still would much prefer to know exactly what’s in mine, at least to a degree. So far, I’ve been able to stop myself from hitting up Google to find out what’s in ground pork – ha!
Enough of my insanity…let’s get to the details.
Making your own sausage is super simple. All you need is ground pork and some common pantry items. Sage is often found in sausage, so I made sure to use plenty. I also added nutmeg and allspice to compliment the sweetness of the maple syrup.
This recipe is low carb and gluten free. There is no egg, flour, or other additives!
All in all, this recipe takes around 20 minutes and is delicious alongside all your breakfast favorites!

I’ve never tried to make my own sausage patties before, but I really need to change that. I love to eat it, but hate to buy a big package. This will taste much better, and I’m saving this for later
