Notes

The seasoning yields approximately 2 tablespoons, which is ideal for 1 pound of ground pork.
This seasoning works beautifully for breakfast sausage, patties, links, or bulk sausage used in stuffing, pasta, or casseroles, and the heat level can be easily adjusted by increasing or reducing the red pepper flakes.
Store any unused seasoning in a tight-fitting container in a cool, dry place, where it will stay fresh and aromatic for up to 6 months.
