Southern Breakfast Sausage

Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Mix with your hands until the ingredients are well mixed.
2. Shape the sausage into 16 2-ounce patties.
3. Freeze the patties flat on a sheet pan before placing them in an airtight container or freezer bag.

4. When you are ready to cook the patties, allow them to thaw completely.
5. In a large skillet, cook the sausages over medium-high heat until well browned on both sides, about 5 minutes a side.
6. Cook until the internal temperature is at least 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
