Ingredients
- 1 pound beef pork, or a mixture (mixture is my favorite!)
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- ½ Tablespoon fine salt Himalayan or sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¾ teaspoon dried sage
- ½ teaspoon chili powder or red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Option A: Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and form 14-20 patties. Fry, flipping once, for about 6 minutes.
- Option B: Toss meat into a warm skillet. Add remaining ingredients and mix well as the meat browns. Let it get slightly crispy before removing to drain. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Note: This recipe will make about 12 english-muffin-sized breakfast patties. I made 16 slightly smaller ones this time, but I’ve also made mini-patties as shown in the breakfast salad photo. Flexibility!
