Italian-Spiced 50/50 Sausages
Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 8-10 patties
 
Ingredients
  • 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
  • 1 pound pastured ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon solid cooking fat (coconut oil, lard, tallow, or duck fat)
Instructions
  1. Place the ground beef, pork, herbs, garlic powder and salt in a large bowl and combine well with your hands. Form into 8-10 patties and place on a plate.
  2. Heat the solid cooking fat in the bottom of a cast-iron skillet or frying pan on medium heat. When the fat is melted and the pan is hot, add patties, cook 10 minutes a side, or until thoroughly cooked. You may have to do this in two batches. Alternately, you can bake them at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until they are cooked throughout.
Notes
Variation: Feel free to switch up the protein in these--you can make them 100% beef or pork, or add some lamb into the mix!
