I made these for my eldest DS, he doesn't care for sausage and opts for a bowl of cereal instead of something with sausage. Of course being a mom I needed to have something that he would like. I made these for a recipe for OAMC-I haven't made this recipe yet but it will be for recipe#120519. I tried one and he tried one. He told me it doesn't tastes like sausage it tastes like 'meat'-yeah mom I'll eat it! (he does love meat!) I agreed with the 'meat' taste, it was the sugar taste that threw me off, I'm not accustomed to that in sausage. The little patties are sitting in the freezer waiting to be used for my next OAMC.

These are just awesome! The only change I made was to also add some ground Star Anise. I made a whole bunch and froze half. My Dad is on a renal-friendly diet and enjoyed them so much, as did the rest of my family! I also made up little tiny patties to go with Breakfast Bagel Sandwiches recipe #120519 Thanks for a keeper Cynna!
