Monday, while I was thawing ten pounds of pork loin to repackage, I figured there was no better time than the present to try making some meals.
Here's the cast of characters:
The most time consuming part was cubing the pork loin. After that it was simply label the bag (I added the cooking instructions on it with a Sharpie), dump in the ingredients, remove the air and seal.
I was able to finish six meals in under thirty minutes....despite three phone calls and this:
Here's what I ended up with.....as well as my minimal mess:
Not too shabby. If you include my clean up time - putting things away and loading the dishwasher - it's still under forty minutes.
Here are the links to the recipes I used:

I need to do some pork meals. Thanks for the recipes.
i'm always looking for new crock pot recipes, especially pork! Going to copy these...thanks!!
I never thought to do it that way. Great idea to buy a large piece of meat and bag it.
I always wait until whole pork loins are on sale for under $2/#. Then I usually have one cut by the butcher into chops and leave the other one whole. I'll usually chop it into 3-4 roast. Apparently, I was busy this shopping day b/c I found the whole 10 pounds in it's original package from the store. You'll have days like that....
