Dr Pepper—Glazed Ham with Prunes

Go to Recipe

Team: St. Louis Rams

Why? Dr Pepper soda was first introduced to the world at the 1904 World Fair in St. Louis. And after years of calling their offense “The Greatest Show on Turf,” it doesn’t seem a stretch to call the Rams “hams.”

Braised Pork Shanks

Go to Recipe

Team: Dallas Cowboys

Why? The Cowboys’ tradition of beefy linebackers makes us think of these thick (and delicious) pork shanks. After a lengthy braise, the tender pork is a perfect filler for quesadillas, making this recipe as much of a Dallas double threat as quarterback Tony Romo and wide receiver Terrell Owens.

Harissa-Crusted Pork Crown Roast

Go to Recipe

Slow-Roasted Pork Belly with Eggplant and Pickled Fennel

Credit: © April Williams
Go to Recipe

Team: Detroit Lions

Why? Much as we love the Lions, we have to admit they're slow to win, and their President and CEO Matt Millen is in a bit of a pickle. But hopefully this season will be just as memorable as this slow-roasted pork belly with pickled fennel.

Crispy Pork Tenderloin with Fried Apple Rings

Why? Last year's NFL Rookie of the Year, running back Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings, proved to be one of the fastest men on turf. So for him we picked one of our fastest pork recipes: quick fried pork tenderloin with apples.

Pork Medallions with Onion Marmalade

Go to Recipe

Team: San Francisco 49ers

Why? Named for the Gold Rush of 1849 that helped turn San Francisco into a major metropolis, one of the great franchises of the NFC West deserves nothing less than medallions—of pork tenderloin, that is—pan-seared, with pancetta and topped with a sweet onion marmalade.
