Pork Loin Recipes

I choose Smithfield Prime Fresh Pork because I truly believe that Not All Pork is Created Equal. Smithfield Prime Fresh Pork is 20% More Tender (than other leading brands for Natural* Pork) & contains no growth promotants or added hormones or steroids**. This is really important to me because I want to feed my family the best I can.

I also love that they are a product of the USA & Gluten Free too.

The nice thing about this recipe is that it pairs so well with so many side dishes. Since I make this in the pressure cooker, it frees up my oven for things like 15-minute Drop Biscuits or Cheesy Spinach Crescents.
