When a recipe calls for ground pork, does that mean sausage ?

Answer 1

You can buy ground pork in any grocery store. It's normally cheaper than ground beef. It's good to use in making meatballs!

Answer 2

I doubt it, it probably means ground pork. Pork sausage has all of these seasonings in it, if you use that in a recipe that calls for ground pork, the flavor will be very different.

Answer 3

Well sausage is a seasoned ground pork with about 30% fat.
you can use sausage instead of ground pork since pork it typically 30% fat all on it's own. You have to use the right kind of sausage in your recipe though. breakfast sausage usually has sage in it. is it an italian dish then use italian sausage. is it mexican or spanish then use chorizo. bulk sausage is what you want - no pre cooked.

Answer 4

Ground pork is typically not seasoned, so if you use breakfast or Italian sausage you my want to omit some of the seasonings in the recipe. So you are basically creating a new recipe.

Answer 5

no, it's not sausage. Ground pork is just like ground beef( hamburger meat) , but made from pig not cow. You can usually find it in the meat dept of a supermarket, if not then any butcher can make you some if you ask.
