Cajun-Style Beef Sausage

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly
2. To make patties, lightly shape sausage mixture into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high. Add patties; grill 10 to 12 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally.
   Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
4. To prepare crumbles: on your grills side burner, heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add sausage mixture; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 1/2-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally.
   Cook's Tip: Two to 2-1/2 cups fully cooked sausage crumbles can be frozen for 3 to 4 months. To use, heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add frozen crumbles and cook 6 to 9 minutes or until crumbles reach 165°F, stirring occasionally.
