1. In a large bowl combine the brown sugar, sage, salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme cayenne, and cloves. Stir in the water.
2. Add the ground beef and mix with your hands, just until combined being carful not to overmix.
3. Spread the beef mixture out on a baking sheet or large plate so that it’s about 1/2 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter, glass, or jar that is the size you’d like your patties to be (2.5 to 3 inches is typical) to cut meat into circles. Transfer circles to a plate. Gather up remaining meat, spread out, and continue to cut circles until no meat remains.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef sausage patties and cook until well-browned underneath, 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until well-browned, another 3-4 minutes.
5. Cut into a patty to make sure it’s no longer pink inside. Remove patties from skillet and serve.
