Our local grocery store had ground sausage meat for sale - something we had not seen before.  There are many pre made breakfast sausage meats available, but I have always shied away from them due to questionable ingredients.  So when we saw ground sausage meat available we decided to make our own and turn it into an English Muffin breakfast sandwich, which turned out great.

Once the spices were mixed into the sausage meat, we refrigerated the meat for 2 hours so the flavours could come together.  We used enough to make 3 English Muffin breakfast sandwiches, then froze the rest of the sausage to have for other days.

1 1/4 lb. ground sausage meat

1 1/2 tsp. dried powdered sage

1/2 tsp. dried thyme

1/2 tsp. ground mace

1 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1 1/2 tsp. paprika

salt and fresh cracked pepper

Gluten Free English Muffins

Additional ingredients:  cheddar cheese, fried eggs, mayonnaise, hot sauce - whatever other toppings you prefer.

Add the ground sausage meat to a bowl, followed by all of the spices.  Mix well and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Place the meat onto a baking tray, and using clean hands, spread out to a thin size then use a cup or glass to cut out rounds of the sausage meat.

Heat up a skillet or cast iron pan with a drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on medium heat.  Cook the sausage - these took about 6-7 minutes, in total.

Then fry your eggs to your liking with a sprinkling of green onion.

Lightly toast your English Muffin, adding the cheddar cheese and any condiments of your choice.  Top with the breakfast sausage followed by the fried eggs.
