Pork Sirloin Roast for sausage?

[Grimpuppy]

This was on sale at local grocer for .99 cents a pound. About any pork for that is a good deal these days. Is this ok to grind up for sausage? I have plenty of back fat to add to it.

Grimpuppy I’ve used it for sausage, it’s a bit leaner than butts. It seems to work just as well if you add the fat back in. Costco had pork shoulder for $ 1.79 lb. plus $2.00 off on top of it.

I’ve used it in addition to butts. Go for it.

Grimpuppy nothing wrong with a good lean sausage every now and then. If you have fat to add, it will be fine. Great deal.

I have used it also works good

Grimpuppy it will make good sausage. Just add the fat to keep it from being to lean.

Grimpuppy - Yup, add it in.

I used it a few weeks ago mixed with pork butt did 25 pounds half and half because I don’t like grease running out of my sausage when I cook it

My store has them on sale a lot, so I use that cut of meat regularly with no problems at all. A couple of weeks ago I was curious about making a lean sausage with the sirloin roast and no added fat. While it was not as juicy as a higher fat sausage, it was a very good alternative if heated gently.

How much fat would need to be added?

[craigrice]

RON PARRISH to some degree it would be preference but 80-20 on average would be ok

[Grimpuppy]

1 pound of fat per 5 pounds of meat

Grimpuppy Thanks for the info!Just got my order of hatch chili brat seasoning and I have both pork roast and back fat in freezer!

Grimpuppy Should work fine, especially if you have back fat to add if needed.
