What would you do with 2 lbs of ground pork

[Float On]

I don't cook pork often (my husband is Jewish so I wait till he's out of town).
I knew what to do with the bacon and porkchops and sausage, I've just never used ground pork before. I've bought Boston Burger before that has pork mixed in.
This has all been really good stuff from the ranch around the corner from my family farm. I think my dad helped fix a piece of machinery or pulled his bulldozer out of a mud rut or something. The rancher is always gifting with food and then dad shares with me!

So...favorite ideas I can try?

Chili, with nice Hatch green chilis

Sausage, made fresh (no need to put it into casings, hand-shaped patties do fine)

Pork hamburgers

Pork & green beans, Chinese-style

I have never been able to find the right spices to put in ground pork,
(or any ground meat for that matter) to produce decent sausage;
all my attempts were dismal failures.

Dunno if anyone could suggest what spices to use...

I've never tried to make sausage, but SO has figured out how to make awesome turkey meatballs. He puts a large amount of the red pepper oil sauce from our favorite chinese (or should I say Oriental...) restaurant in them. (Every time we go there he asks, and they give him, a tupperware full of the stuff). If one can make something as bland as a turkey meatball have flavor I assume the same concept would work for pork sausage.

Sausage and kale soup, breakfast sausage, Asian inspired meatballs.

I have a bunch of casserole recipes that you can add either pork or hamburger to.

I was wondering if it could be used like a breakfast sausage patty. I may try a few of those and the sausage/kale soup is a great idea. I'm also going to see what pinterest has for pork & greenbeans chinese style. I wondered about chili...I'm putting in an order for pinon coffee later today so I should add hatch to that list. Ran out from my last weekend in NM already. The ladies I worked with in NM in the 80's made a big pot of hatch green chili stew almost daily but that was shredded pork..hadn't considered using ground in it. Thanks!

I would use it to make dog food, but that's because my husband is allergic, so I don't cook meat for us.
Or split it and make sausages out of half.

Traditional meatloaf is a mixture of ground beef and pork.
