Versatile Minced Pork Recipe(Crock Pot or Fry Pan)) image

This was an "empty the fridge" recipe. It's versatile because depending who you are serving it to and how much time you have to cook it is totally adaptable. Sloppy Joe's or meat balls( 3 hours or 15 minutes). Also adapt the spiciness to suit your taste. I usually make them hotter than this. Have fun experiment, Nice with noodles and a salad
