Creamy Paprika Pork is the fanciest dish that is such a breeze to make, you’re sure to be amazed you’ve never tried it before! The pork is tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth tender in fact, because it’s braised in a simple yet delicious savory cream sauce. That cream sauce is infused with the sweet, smoky flavor of paprika, which complements the succulent pork amazingly. Piled atop rice or egg noodles, Creamy Paprika Pork is a lick-your-plate-clean kind of dish!
