Ingredients

  • 2 lbs lean ground pork
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds crushed
  • 1 tsp ground sage
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground pepper

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Mix everything together until evenly combined- I recommend using clean hands for easiest mixing and best results.
    2 lbs lean ground pork, 1 tsp fennel seeds, 1 tsp ground sage, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning, 1 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground pepper
  • Shape the mixture into 10-12 even-ish patties, transfer them to a wax paper lined plate, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Fry the patties, in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan, for 2-3 minutes- per side.
  • Transfer the cooked patties to a waiting paper towel lined plate to drain off any excess grease. Repeat until all the patties have been cooked.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Fry the patties, in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan.
  • If you use full fat pork, the seasoning ratios stay the same.
  • You can adjust the seasonings to suit your taste.
