When I went paleo a few years back I was shocked to discover that sausage has sugar in it. WHY? Back then paleo and the Whole30 were not what they are today and getting products that were paleo or Whole30 friendly was a whole lot harder. I mail ordered bacon! I mean come on… I was desperate. Fortunately, things have gotten easier for us paleo folks and we don’t have to work as hard to find products that don’t have a ton of chemicals or added sugars. But back then, I had to find a solution and ASAP. That is when I realized just how simple breakfast sausage is to make. I mean dead simple. Add a few spices to ground pork and fry! So even though I can find breakfast sausage without sugar now, I still just make my own. I like it better!

This is the basic recipe. If you want to add some of that sweetness back into the game (I don’t miss it) you can fry this up with some apple, which makes a delicious egg-free breakfast. Play with it and make it your own! You won’t hurt my feelings.
