I buy pork loin usually for about $1.69#

I can cure and smoke 1# for about 31¢

After slicing it, it comes out to about 10¢ a slice.
Thicker than McDs

I get eggs for 99¢ a dozen, xl or jumbo, that’s just over 8¢ each.

IIRC, I buy Thomas’ English muffins for $2 for 6.
That’s 34¢ each

Plus the slice of cheese???
13¢ ???

All in all, about 65¢ each
And much better than McDs.

Now you’re talkin :-)

I smoke a pork shoulder butt, end up with pounds and pounds of excellent pulled pork for pennies. Sous-vide a pork loin and it’s tender as hell. I can throw together an excellent and healthy dinner for what I pay to eat the garbage at McD’s.
