Spicy Ground Pork Burgers with Ghost Pepper-Mustard Aioli Recipe
My gorgeous wife is no longer upset with me because I FINALLY used the grinder attachment for our Kitchenaid mixer. Not sure why she was so annoyed. I mean, we ONLY got it for Christmas a year and a half ago.
OK, fine, I'm slow to get to some things. I freely admit! In reality, I'm more annoyed at myself for not getting around to it sooner because now I LOVE grinding my own meats and wish I could have been doing it all along.
The attachment is simple to use. You just screw it into the top face and operate it with the standard controls. The actual grinding process can be a little tricky, but the key is to work with meat that has been chilled, and nearly frozen.
I started with a pork shoulder, chopped it into thin rectangles to fit them into the grinder attachment, then set them in the freezer for about an hour to harden. Don't freeze them completely, but harden them up enough so they aren't pliable, otherwise the meat might flop and can gum up the grinder.
Seriously, if you own a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer, rush out and get yourself the grinder attachment and start grinding your own meat. Or better yet, click this innocuous Amazon Affiliate link and buy one now - KitchenAid KGSSA Stand Mixer Attachment Pack 2 with Food Grinder, Rotor Slicer & Shredder, and Sausage Stuffer - and then send me a note with photos of your delicious creations.
I've already made these spicy burgers and three different types of sausage, including serrano-pork sausages. Gosh, folks, do you think I have a spicy food obsession? #SpicyFoodObsession. I do think so.

It's OK, though. I suppose if you're going to have an obsession, spicy food isn't a terrible one. If you're not grinding your own pork yet, you can easily grab a package from your local butcher or grocery store.
I usually find it next to the chicken in the grocery meat section. Ground pork isn't quite as popular as ground beef or ground turkey, but I believe it's catching on because I'm seeing it more and more.
Truly, it's delicious and makes for outstanding grilling food. Now that the warmer weather is here, we're definitely ready to grill.
