Homemade Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage

• 1 lb Boston butt or pre-ground pork
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp rubbed sage
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/4 tsp coriander
• 1/4 tsp msg (such as accent)(optional)

1. If you are using a Boston butt, make sure about 15%-20% is fat, or you will have dry sausage.
2. Cut the pork into 1-inch pieces and run them through a grinder with a medium plate.
3. If you are using pre-ground pork, you can skip this step and move on.
4. Place the herbs and spices in a large mixing bowl.
5. Mix to combine.
6. Add the ground pork to the large bowl.
7. Mix the herbs and spices into the ground pork by hand until it is uniformly distributed.
8. Place the sausage into a Ziploc bag and store in the refrigerator for a day or two for the flavors to marry.
