I know it's well beyond the "tomorrow night" referred to in your post, but in the event that you find yourself with ground meats again, especially pork, I can highly recommend my mother-in-law's Danish frikadeller. They're similar to Swedish meatballs, but way, WAY better.
Here's the recipe, translated from my husband's Danish cookbook,
God Mad, Let at lave (Good food, easy to cook):
Ingredients
1/2 lb ground beef and 1/2 lb of ground pork (you can also use just pork, or pork and veal, whatever combination of ground meat you prefer)
1/2 cup flour
About a cup of liquid, such as milk, water or stock (we use milk)
1 egg
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 finely chopped yellow onion
Butter for frying
(This is an easy recipe to double, which we also usually do.)
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients except liquid, and mix for roughly 3 minutes with a hand mixer on medium speed, adding liquid to get desired consistency, which should be moist but not wet.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes
Heat a couple of tbsp of butter in large skillet
Dip a spoon in the hot butter from the pan and use the spoon and your hand to shape meatballs into flattened football shapes.
Drop meatballs in the skillet and fry until crispy on the outside, roughly 4 - 5 minutes on each side.
Continue the process until all the meatballs are cooked (will require several batches, or, if you're good, several pans at one time).
When they're done, they should look like
this.
Serve with boiled red potatoes and green beans.
Mmmmm. Enjoy!
