<![CDATA[Need more fat]]>I’m going to try a new spice for breakfast sausage. Got a good deal on shoulder but they don’t have any fat. I was hoping for some pork belly to offset the meat content.

Can I use some cheap commercial bacon?

I’m hesitant to use this. I really want to know what this pics mix tastes like in its pure form.

Help!

The store I was at is generally high on meat, and I only buy meat there if it is a great sale, say like .99 cent pork shoulders.

Was it prepackaged? Most butchers should have it for around $1 a lb. Or at least, that is what I am able to get it at.

It was 0.99 a pound, just had to wait a few days for them to save me 5 pounds.

It’ll work but it can also create a texture that is a little too soggy for my liking. Check with a butcher, you should be able to get 5 lb of high-quality pork fat for just a few dollars. Get uncured bacon too that hasn’t been smoked already or it will throw off your test.

You should be fine using bacon, though it may not grind well.
