Steps:

• 1. Two methods could be used. Method Number One: Un-wrap and coarsely chop ground pork in a medium sized bowl. Add all ingredients and mix and distribute well. You can press into sausage patties for frying or coarsely chop the pork while frying. Continue to flip and coarsely chop with end of spatula while frying. Method Number Two: Un-wrap and place pork in medium high heat frying pan. Coarsely chop pork with end of spatula while frying. Sprinkle about and add all other ingredients except water. Flip the pork a number of times and continue chopping coarsely. Turn heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.

• 4. Another Note: Quite frequently after frying breakfast sausage, I utilize the drippings and scrapings to make biscuit gravy for immediate use or to freeze for later use. Why let the yumminess go to waste? Add 1 1/2 to 2 cups milk to the frying pan. Heat to a low simmer. I add a tablespoon of bacon grease that is always on hand in the fridge. Also about 3 pads of butter and a little salt and pepper. To thicken mix 3 heaping tablespoons of corn starch to 1/2 cup cld water and mix to a slurry. Add to and stir into milk and turn the heat up to a substantial simmer. Stir while the gravy thickens. Cornstarch has to come to a low boil to thicken. If too thick upon reheating add a little milk and stir well.
