"Although beef chuck is a reliably cheap cut, it's not quite as affordable as pork loin roast. Cows take longer to reach the age of maturity and are more expensive to feed than pigs, generally making beef pricier when compared to pork. This difference means that even the more frugal cuts of the meat don't provide the same bang-for-your-buck value that pork does. Finding chuck roast for $10 a pound is pretty standard, while you can buy pork loin roast for $4.99 per pound."
"Like chuck roast, pork loin roast is a lean piece of meat that turns tender with the right techniques. Pork Mississippi pot roast is just as delicious as its beef counterpart, and you won't need to make too many adjustments. After patting the surface of the pork dry, brown it in a skillet, then transfer it to your slow cooker. Add in the ranch dressing mix, pepperoncini juice, onion soup mix, butter, and pepperoncinis before letting the roast cook on low for around six hours."
Pork loin roast offers a cheaper alternative to beef chuck for Mississippi pot roast while delivering comparable tenderness when cooked properly. Pork is generally less expensive because pigs mature faster and cost less to raise, making pork loin often significantly cheaper per pound than chuck. Prepare the pork by patting it dry and browning in a skillet before transferring to a slow cooker. Combine ranch dressing mix, pepperoncini juice, onion soup mix, butter, and pepperoncinis, and cook on low for around six hours. Boost savoriness by stirring in a tablespoon or two of tomato paste and adding beef broth as desired. Reduce overall cooking time compared with beef.
