Everyone thinks of chicken as the go-to inexpensive cut of meat, but really, pork can be just as affordable by identifying the inexpensive cuts and being strategic in dealing with the different types of meat. I’m a huge fan of buying large value packs of pork on sale but the key is to divide it into manageable bundles before throwing it in the freezer. When I buy a pork loin, there are many ways I portion it out. I can cut off a roast or two, slice some of the meat into cubes for kebabs or smaller ones for stir-fry, or cut into into boneless pork loin chops.
So, if you are in need of ideas for how to turn cuts of pork into delicious dinners that don’t break the bank, below are my Top 10 Pork Recipes based on ratings from FoodNetwork.com. And don’t forget the secret to keeping your pork juicy: Take care not to overcook it, and always let it rest before serving.
