Easy Breakfast Sausage
Imagine waking up to this: savory sausage patties, spiked with garlic and herbs, and frizzled in a pan until golden brown. There's even a touch of brown sugar, so they're extra caramelized on the outside. And since they're make-ahead friendly, you can have them any day of the week!
