We're all familiar with the National Pork Board's slogan, "Pork. The Other White Meat." Anyone who grew up as I did - being served boring, flavorless pork - can see why the slogan's disclamatory 'Other' is necessary; who needs pork when you've got delicious poultry? Further, it seemed to me that pork came in two varieties: bland (a la roast pork), or loaded with fat (a la bacon).

Luckily, I later discovered that there's a world of mouth-watering pork that is tender, juicy, dietetic, and makes use of seasonings besides salt and pepper. In need of inspiration, I searched RecipeLion and found these 12 delicious, cost-effective pork chop recipes. We've got fried pork chops, baked pork chops, grilled pork chops, and my favorite, slow cooker pork recipes, which always make for moist pork chops.
 

We hope you enjoy exploring the world of white meat beyond turkey and chicken - bon appetit! Plus, don't miss the two brand new fried pork chop recipes we just discovered. Scroll down to the bottom to see them!
