Nutrition Notes

Since these flavorful appetizers are made with whole wheat crackers, they can help you eat right.  As a bonus, the cheese provides a good source of calcium.

Recipe Tips

SubstituteDon't have a small can of root beer?  You can instead use 1 cup of root beer from a bottle or larger can.

VariationSubstitute a boneless turkey breast, sometimes called a turkey "London broil," or beef London broil for the pork loin.

NoteIf you can't find a pork loin this small, just ask the butcher to cut one for you.  They are generally happy to give you the size you would like.  Or, buy a larger piece of meat and cut off the amount needed to prepare this recipe.  Freeze the remaining meat to use at a later time as desired.
