10/21/2025 – This turned out good and we will make it again. I mistakenly bought a 1 lb. tube of breakfast sausage WITH SAGE for the CU SS Breakfast casserole last Sunday. So, was sent to get the right thing. [I still screwed up and got mild italian but that is another story in another post.] So, the question is how to use the sage flavored sausage. ChatGPT’s advice ranged from adding other seasoning to mask the sage or add AVC and other things that did not sound to interesting. They also suggest adding chorizo seasoning and that includes strong spice and ACV. So, used two recipes to ID the spices and added the list below to the 1 lb. of pork sausage. It mellowed in the refer for a day and then we brown it in a large CI skillet and had it on soft corn tacos. It was very good. Mary thought it was a bit spicy.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork of breakfast sage with sage. Plan to not use sage flavored meat in the next cook
• ~1/3 tablespoon cayenne
• 1/2 tablespoon Chipotle powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic granulated
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 2/3 teaspoon oregano [I think I forgot to add this]
• 2/3 teaspoon coriander – I added a fat pinch. Don’t recall why I did not use the full amount.
• 1/2 teaspoon Mexican cinnamon Did not use it but should try it next time
• 1/2 teaspoon ground clove Did not use it but should try it next time
• 2 tablespoons ACV
• Salt and pepper to taste (1 teaspoon each) Did not use and did not miss it but maybe try it next time.

Directions

Added the spices on top of the spreadout sausage and cut them in with a fork. Once it was somewhat mixed in used my hands to blend it.
