Ingredients:

01 - 1 pound ground beef sausage.
02 - 1 small yellow onion, finely diced (about ½ cup).
03 - 3 medium jalapeno peppers, seeded, finely diced.
04 - 1 tablespoon light brown sugar.
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic, minced.
06 - 2 teaspoons kosher salt.
07 - 1 teaspoon ground black pepper.
08 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
09 - ¼ teaspoon dried marjoram.
10 - ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper.

12 - 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour.
13 - 1 cup (113 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded.
14 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil.

Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
02 - Lay a large piece of parchment paper on a work surface and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
03 - Spread half of the sausage mixture on top of the parchment paper. Spray another sheet of parchment with nonstick spray and lay it on top of the mixture.
04 - Using a rolling pin, roll the mixture to about ½ inch thickness.
05 - Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and use a round cookie cutter or cup (3 ½ to 4 inches in diameter) to cut the mixture into patties. Repeat with the remaining sausage mixture. You should get about 12 patties.
06 - Alternatively, you can form the patties by hand.
07 - In a large skillet over medium-low heat, cook the sausage patties in batches for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
08 - Serve immediately.

Notes:

01 - These patties can be enjoyed on their own or served with buns as sandwiches.
02 - Adjust the amount of jalapeno depending on your preferred spice level.
