This is the baseline configuration for beef sausage. I'm sure experimentation with cinnamon, sage, and other spices will yield a more interesting product. Your mileage may vary, etc.
Ingredients:
Coarse-ground fresh black pepper
Ground beef
Seriously, that's it as a simple base-lilne recipe
Order of Operations:
Grind black pepper coarsely into ground beef while folding ground beef
Keep doing so beyond what you think is sane for black pepper
Make patties from resulting peppered ground beef
Fry that awesomeness in a skillet with a proper high-temp oil or with butter for
extra cholesterol goodness
Eat it and bask in the gloriousness knowing you've made your own sausage
