Recipes with Ground Pork

Our family loves cooking with ground pork. All you need is one pound of ground pork, and you can make a hearty dinner quickly. Give ground pork a try in this Paleo Ground Pork Lettuce Wraps recipe or this Italian Ground Pork Meatballs recipe. The whole family will love trying these new recipes.

The spice comes from fire-roasted hatch chiles. If you love hatch chiles as much as we do…I have a lot of fabulous gluten free hatch chile recipes that you will love. You will also find a great tutorial and video on how to fire-roast hatch chiles. I am not including that all here or this post will get very long.

• Hatch chiles (freshly roasted, frozen, or canned)
