So I got 3 pounds of ground pork, what do I do with it? I wanna smoke it somehow just not sure what to make. Any easy ideas?
I'm going to try your one pound mini loaves with 50/50 pork and ground round at 225* to an IT of 160*. I've never smoked meat loaf and will probably do 4 loaves without pans on a Qmat. I don't know why I haven't tried this yet.
Make some Sausage. If you dont have a Stuffer, patties, meatballs or log shapes are fine. So is meatloaf as Noboundaries posted, although I prefer no more than 500g mini loaves. Before I got a stuffer I used rehydrated Corn Husks that are used to make Tamales and available in any area with people of Mexican decent or from the southwest US. They work really well, I saw the technique on DDD on the Foodnetwork...JJ
Thanks. Any ideas would help. My sister has what she calls a fluffy meatloaf recipe:
Sounds like a plan. If you need a recipe, I can help...JJ
That's what I like to do, though that $.99 price is history. I usually split the batch between breakfast sausage, and "Italian" sausage, perfect for meatballs.
Back when butts were $0.99/LB? I ground up a lot of pork. When not grinding for sausage, I would omit some of the fat.
Great for many Mexican dishes. Cheap and effective substitute for ground beef in many applications.
Good luck and good smoking.
