Instructions

To a large bowl, add all of the ingredients. Use your hands to gently mix just until combined. Let the meat mixture rest for about 10 minutes.
Lightly oil the palm of your hands with oil and shape the mixture into 8 (3-inch) patties. It helps to first divide the mixture into eight balls and then press on each ball to form the patties.
Add enough oil to cover the bottom of a large heavy-bottom skillet, such as cast-iron, and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add patties to the pan without overcrowding and cook for 4-6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink and golden brown on the outside. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Bacon: Use a sharp knife and cut the bacon into long strips about 1/2 inch wide. Turn the bacon and cut the strips into pieces also about 1/2 inch wide.
Leftovers: Refrigerate cooked sausage for up to 5 days.
