Had to at $1.99 lb

[Nevada Ed]

As I was going through the meat section I spotted a Pak of two small Pork Roast that was stamped $1.99 a pound.

Not a pork loin but still meat at a great price, for now a days.
Brought it home and soaked it in a Brime over night and tossed it
on the Traeger with an hour of smoke and the probe inserted, to see how it was doing at 250*.
Started cooking at 4pm and at 6:30 it was done.

BBQ sauce was ok but might just try oil and herbs on the nect batch.

Looks pretty tasty to me. Gotta love those Traeger Grills. I use mine all year long, even in the dead of Michigan winters.

A little cast iron magic. This is one of my apple juice & vinegar brined pork loins.

Sorry guys, but when I hear brine all I think about is sodium and blood pressure.

Beemer, do you burn it like my ex wife did?

Glad I live in pork country. Frequent sale prices:
Whole pork loins $1.29 to $1.49 per ib.
Boneless pork shoulder roasts $.99 a pound
Pork Tenderloins $1.99 a pound

Cheaper than chicken.

That works for 1.25" thick Salmon steaks if kept at a simmer ,
with 2 Bay leaf and a little w. vinegar tossed in !!

About 3 weeks ago I was doing the grocery shopping and found 3 whole pork loins in the "sale" bin, about 2 days from their "sell by" date. Marked down to $1.39 per pound.

A lot of good eating! With ground beef hovering around $4 per pound I keep my eyes peeled for the bargains.

One of my favorites for pork roast:

Whole pork loin, sprinkled with Lowrys seasoned salt and black pepper, browned in a skillet.

2 pounds sauerkraut, rinsed and drained.

Put the sauerkraut into the crock pot, place the browned pork loin on top, then cover with sliced Granny Smith apples. Cover and slow cook for 4 or 5 hours. The apples basically dissolve into the mix and the moisture from the pork is all that is needed.

Pennsylvania Dutch pork roast. Delicious and about as simple as a meal can be.

Around here, pork shoulder roasts (also known as "Boston Butt" because of the "butts" or barrels used for long distance transit of meat on ships), a tough cut of meat, are often sold for $0.99/lb.

They are also sold sliced as "pork steaks" which is a popular BBQ item locally.

I'll put an eight or nine pound roast in a roasting pan with three cans of sauerkraut, a bunch of peeled and halved potatoes and onions, celery and carrots in three inch chunks, mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper.

I put the lid on the roasting pan and put it in the oven at 275 degrees for about five hours.

When done, the shoulder bone will lift from the roast with two fingers and the meat will be pink, moist, melt in your mouth tender, and so delicious, your eyes will roll back in your head and your knees will buckle.

And the veggies are just as tasty!

Eating cheap can still be eating good.
