Alternative option
  1. instead of making patties this sausage mixture can be portioned out in freezer bags for making sausage gravy or to individually pat out different size patties according to your needs.

Notes

Can be placed in the freezer on a baking sheet or bus tub, then separated before bagging to prevent them from sticking to each other for easy access later.
You will get about 10 sausage patties per 1 lb. of pork.
