Instructions
- In a frying pan set over medium heat on the stove top, add oil to the pan if your ground pork is very low fat. Use your fingers to break up and pull off pieces of the ground pork chunk and put into the pan.
- Once the ground pork is all added to the pan, use a potato masher to mash and break up the ground pork into fine and small pieces. Repeat this as the ground pork cooks. Add ½ teaspoon of salt, the garlic and onion powders and the black pepper.
- Once the ground pork is turning all brown part, taste and add the other ½ teaspoon salt if needed.
- Turn off the heat and proceed with whatever recipe you plan to use finely crumbled ground pork for.
Notes
- Be sure to drain the meat well before using in your recipe.
- If you do not have a potato mashing tool, use a meat pounder or wash a can of soup very well and then use that instead.
- Add salt to your ground meat before using it in your recipe, this will lend a lot of flavor to your recipe.
