Someone in the other tread mentioned they make their own.
I have also been making my own for a while.
I use Fassett's Breakfast Sausage recipe as a base.

This is what I have come up with….

1.00   Pound   Pork Butt
6.12   Grams   Salt
2.50   Grams   Black Pepper
1.50   Grams   Crushed Red Pepper
1.50   Grams   Cayenne Pepper
2.00   Grams   Sage


It is simple and I do like it a lot.
Anyone want to add their recipe??

I've been toying with what to do with the 2 butts I have taking up freezer space. I didn't feel like making smoked sausage or boudin because of the time it takes.

Thanks for posting this. Looks like we'll be making breakfast sausage.

its fun and we make all our won strip boston butte into strips that fit your grinder season to your taste we do 1 tsp of sage one tsp of light brown suger to one pound of meat to 5 lbs of meat 1 tsp curing salt and a quarter cup of cajun seasoning season and stir and leave strips in fridge over night. When ya ground it pinch a bit and fry it and sample ya may want to add pepper or garlic or salt or something. Make it yours. we measure out 1.25 lbs and freeze in quart zip bags or run through sausage press and cut into lil links and freeze on wax paper till frozen then they wont stick to each other and ya can put a bunch in a gallon bag to take out what ya want to use that morning we did that this morning and they very good

Donald Link has a recipe in one of his books. I’ve never made it, but I’ll try to post the recipe.

I’ve got a couple recipes at the house, I thought they came out pretty good. First couple of times I bagged them in individual patties and that took forever. Starting just vacuum sealing like ground meat in one or two pound bags.

Here's the formula I have developed:

5 pounds meat
1 and 1/2 tablespoon ground sage
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon coarse black pepper
1/2 tablespoon cracked red pepper
1/2 tablespoon ground white pepper

I grind the butts and vac/freeze in 2 lb packs. They take up less room this way.

When I pull a pack out of freezer I can make Italian Sausage, breakfast sausage, Chili, casserole or what ever.

I think this is the last iteration I did. I think I remember wanting to cut back on the sage or something.

Finally remembered to post this

2 pounds ground fatty perk
1 tablespeen kesher salt
1 teaspeon black pepper
1 haspeen cayenne
S garlie claves, minced
2 teaspeons chopped fresh sage
* teaspoon red pepper flakes
Vi teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespeons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
About 2 teaspoons vegetable oil or
bacon fat

Combine all of the ingredients except the vegetable oil with ' cup
water in a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of an electric mixer fitter
with the paddle attachment). Stir to combine and then form into
¾-inch-thick patties.
To cook the sausage, heat a couple teaspoons of oil in a skillet (you
just need enough to lightly coat the pan), preferably cast iron, over
medium-high heat, and swirl to coat. Fry until browned and just
cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

ETA: I used my phones scan to text to copy the recipe. I’ll fix the typos myself later
