Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 medium yellow onion, peeled and finely diced
1/2 teaspoon dry thyme
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup warm water
1 pound Johnsonville ground Italian breakfast sausage
1 large egg
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 pure maple syrup

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. In a large bowl, add oats and warm water. Allow to soak for a few minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. In a small bowl combine ketchup and maple syrup, save for later. To the oatmeal mixture add onion, seasonings, sausage, and egg. Gently mix by hand just until combined. Pour out onto prepared pan and form into a loaf shape. Top with 1/2 of the ketchup mixture. Bake for 30 minutes. Brush top with remaining ketchup mixture and continue cooking for an additional 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Slice in 1/2 in slices. Note: adjust cayenne to your taste. I liked the little kick it had with a 1/4 teaspoon, but if you don't like a lot of heat use only 1/8 teaspoon
