Recipes and Serving Ideas
Once your pork is freshly ground, the possibilities are endless. Make homemade breakfast sausage flavored with sage and maple syrup, or pork burgers topped with grilled pineapple and teriyaki glaze for a tropical twist.
Try spicy pork dumplings or wontons, or classic pork meatballs simmered in a rich tomato sauce. You can also whip up pork chili with beans, peppers, and smoky spices for a hearty meal.
Using freshly ground pork gives dishes depth of flavor, moist texture, and a fresh homemade taste that store-bought meat rarely matches. Pair with fresh sides, your favorite sauces, or crusty bread for complete meals.
Tip: Freeze leftover ground pork in portions—perfect for quick weeknight dinners without sacrificing flavor.
Grinding a simple pork shoulder yourself may seem old-fashioned, but it saves money, boosts flavor, and opens up a world of culinary creativity. Next time you’re at the meat counter, grab a shoulder—you’ll never look at pre-ground pork the same way again.
