Meatballs 2 ways


For dinner tonight, we had homemade meatball pizza, capitalizing on leftovers from last night's pasta with meatballs. They were made from pork sausage from the CSA (local, heritage pigs). I actually cooked them in some leftover bacon grease which made them extra yummy and utilized the extra fat. They were not waste free however, since the meat does come wrapped in butcher paper. 

I have read on some sites that you can compost butcher paper, but that actually surprises me. I thought the waxy coating would prevent that, as well as the meat residue, since you are not supposed to compost meat products. I think I will send a note to the CSA and see what they say.
