Instructions to Smash This Recipe

First, channel your inner chef and grab a large bowl. Add your pound of ground pork to it. Feel free to massage that meat like it just won the lottery — yes, it deserves it.
Now, toss in all those wonderful spices: kosher salt, black pepper, sage, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and the pièce de résistance — maple syrup. Yes, sweet and savory, like a love story!
Mix it all together with your hands. No, you’re not making meat smoothies; you’re blending flavors! Just make sure to wash your hands afterwards, folks.
Once everything is combined and it feels like a deliciously seasoned lump, shape the mixture into patties. Aim for about ¼ inch thick for that perfect breakfast bite.
Heat a skillet over medium heat (keep calm, the magic is coming!). Add a smidge of oil to the pan and place those gorgeous patties on it.
Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and sizzling. The smell will make you want to dance; that’s totally normal.
When they’re done, serve them hot and watch as the breakfast fan club gathers around. You just fed a legion of hungry humans!

There you have it! A splendid breakfast sausage recipe that will make your mornings taste like a burst of sunshine. Get cooking and enjoy a breakfast feast, because why not?
