Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine all the seasoning ingredients and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, place the ground pork, bacon, maple syrup and the seasoning. Mix until well combined.
  • Shape into patties, using about ¼ cup of the pork mixture to form around 16 patties.
  • Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over a medium heat and cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Work in batches until all the sausage patties have been cooked.
  • Allow 2 patties per serving.
