Ingredients

  • 1 tsp ground sage
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (smoked or sweet, your call)
  • 1/2 tsp dried marjoram
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional if you like a little zing)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon (for a surprising warmth, optional)

Instructions

  • Mix all spices in a small bowl until they look like a confident sprinkle party. No clumps, please.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little oil. You want a gentle sizzle, not a popcorn firework show.
  • Shape your ground meat (pork alternatives work, but we’re keeping this sausage-focused; if you’re avoiding pork, try a turkey or chicken blend) into small patties or crumble and toss them in the pan.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the meat. Use a spatula to press it in and help it stick. Cook until browned and cooked through, flipping once or twice for even color.
  • Taste and adjust salt or spice if needed. If you like it hotter, add a pinch more pepper flakes or paprika.
