Good idea, bad method.

I bought two 1lb packs of ground pork as it was on sale. However, I forgot to put them in the freezer and a day later noticed and decided to try and use 1 of the packages and freeze the other.

Made as above... smoke, splattering, all kinds of issues. I thought there might be but tried it anyways. I tossed the dish out and grabbed the 2nd lb of pork back out of the freezer and started over.

Changes:

* Make 24 balls, 12 of them are too large.
* Do not add dressing to oil at first. Brown the balls med-high, then add the dressing. Cook until it begins to caramelize and stick to balls... keep an eye on it, don't let it smoke.
* I think the rings were awkward for the palate. A 1/2 or 1" chop works great.
* Kraft dressing isn't all that great, and the recipe needs a little more than 4 tbls. Try 2 tbl good dijon, 2 tbls honey, a tablespoon+ of vinegar and whisk. Use your own creativity here, just make sure there is at least a tablespoon of honey on the mix so the dish caramelizes.

The 2nd try was actually quite good.
