Instructions
Preheat a 9" cast iron skillet over low heat with 1 T. of bacon fat in it. The pan is ready for frying when you just start seeing steam rise from the pan.
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine all of the sausage ingredients. I like to use my hands for mixing everything together.
Divide the mixture in half. From one half, shape 8 sausage links by rolling the meat into logs between your hands. With the other half, make 8 sausage patties by flattening a ball of meat between your hands.
First, fry the sausage links in the frying pan. Place the links in the pan and continually roll them around with a spatula until they are completely cooked. Links that are about 3/4" thick will take about 7-8 minutes. Once the links are cooked, remove them from the pan to cool.
Add 1 T. of bacon fat to the frying pan and place 4 of the sausage patties into the pan. Fry the patties for 1 minute on each side. Remove the patties and repeat with the remaining sausage patties.
Allow the sausages to cool completely before freezing them. They can also be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheated as needed.
