My neighbor is moving this week and gave me 2-1 gallon ziplock bags of ground wild pork. What are a few things I could do with the meat?

Thanks,

Sausages?

Combine it with same amount of ground venison, stuff it into ring sausages, and smoke or dry it!!

galric, cummin, chilli powder to taste, serve with fresh lettuce, ground cheese and your choice of tortillas

What would you do with the same amount of ground beef.

It can be used just like ground beef, in any recipe that uses ground beef.

Sausage is just one aspect, we have made hamburger patties out of it, meat loaf, chili, tacos, spaghetti sauce.

Ground meat of any kind can be used in lots of ways.

Combine with beef and make great chili. I like the taco idea as well!

Me too, Rusty .. that's what i had for dinner!

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll see what I can get stirred up for the family in the coming weeks.

Thanks again,

The few wild pigs I have eaten have all been almost visible-fat-free......so the cooked result is NOT greasy. Also, the taste has been the best!! Your ground pig ought to useful as suggested above, in any recipe otherwise requiring ground beef.

I'd be making apple bratwurst!!

I use it in spaghetti its great!!

The possibilities are endless

We need a recipe?????

Season it like Italian sausage, brown it, then put it in your spaghetti sauce.

Season it like breakfast sausage and cook ot for breakfast.

Italian sausage ??? Which one of the thousand or more ? My favorite has just salt, pepper and nutmeg.
The pork venison mix is excellent .That can be used for sausage or make Bolognese sauce for pasta ,well deserved title of a "classic"sauce.

At our house the wife browns it in an iron skillet. When it is bout done she will put some eggs in it with a bit of onion and we put it on tortillias with a bit of cheese. Make super breakfast tacos.
Okie

Assuming it's straight wild pork, grind it with about 1/3 wt of good bacon, your choice of smoked, maple, etc and cook it like hamburgers. A friend of mine does this and everyone loves them. He calls them pigburgers.

It will work great in sauces or chili as-is but to make fresh or smoked sausage, hamburgers or meatloaf (or any other "dry" sauceless dish) you'll need to add fat for it to be juicy and tasteful. You can have your grocer gind up some 60/40 or 70/30 ground beef/lamb/pork to mix with it. Or you can buy some lard or bacon like Gato said. If you don't have a grinder you can freeze the lard and grate it on a cheese grater, put it back in the freezer for 20 minutes to stiffen it up and then mix it by hand into thawed but cold wild pork (between 10 and 20% by weight depending on how rich you want the finished dish). Sounds like a lot of work but with ground wild hog, it can be the difference between a good dish and a great one.
