How much seasoning should I use for 1 pound of Ground Pork?

I generally use about 1 pound of Ground Pork to make about 4 to 5 sausages. However it generally depends on the shape and size of the links or patties

The thumb rule I follow is just 1 tablespoon of Breakfast Sausage Seasoning blend for 1 pound of Ground Pork

You can increase or decrease the amount of seasoning blend based on your taste. However we don't like it under seasoned so we use 1 tablespoon for 1 pound of Ground Pork which yields about 4 servings.

2. We suggest you go for a glass jar/bottle instead of plastic containers. Not only is glass more secure but it's also generally considered safe for storing edible products.

3. A cool and dry place is best for keeping your bottle of breakfast sausage seasoning. Heat and light makes a seasoning go bad faster, so avoid them at all cost.
