ok so the sausage definitely tastes good. i didn’t even bother to make patties out of it, just kind of fried it up loose. i went a little heavier with adding pork fat but the stuff i bought had some lean in it so probably was about 70/30 or so.

i need to put a little effort into weighing the meat and fat and measuring the seasoning to get this perfect, but all things considered i was pretty pleased. thanks all!
