Homemade Breakfast Sausage
I probably should call this Spicy Breakfast Sausage on one hand, but on the other, I believe that all breakfast sausage should have the peppery kick so often not found in todays prepared, supermarket sausage. It is the crunch and immediate flavor of black pepper that should be tasted upon the very first bite. But if you don't have cracked black pepper available in your spice rack, substitute ground black pepper.
