Crockpot Pulled Pork Sandwiches!

It may technically be spring, but it sure doesn't feel like it! 

I had purchased a pork roast on sale without a specific idea in mind for it. 

I wanted something simple, easy, and delicious. 

I decided to use my crock pot to make pulled pork for sandwiches. 

Best. Idea. Ever.

Ingredients; 

- Pork Roast (any size - just make sure it fits in your crock pot!)

- White onion 

- Water

- Favorite BBQ sauce 

- Buns 

*make sure your pork roast is completely thawed, if previously frozen before putting it in the crock pot*

Start by slicing your onion. 

Place half of the sliced onion in the bottom of your crock pot. 

Cover the onions with just enough water to cover the bottom of the pot. 

Place Pork roast on top of onions. 

Salt and pepper to taste. 

Place remaining onions on top of roast. 

Place lid on crock pot and turn on. 

Low - 5-6 hours 

high - 3-4 hours 

Remember to flip your roast half way through the cooking time. 

When cooking time is finished, use two forks to shred the meat into strips. Completely shred whole roast. 

Add BBQ sauce (enough to cover the meat and make it good a saucy!)

Stir to combine meat, sauce and onions.

Serve on fresh baked buns with sides

finished product. yummy!

Applesauce!

I recently purchased a 4lb bag of apples from my local grocery store. They were regularly $4.99 but were reduced 50% because some of them were a little soft and bruised. 

These apples were perfect for applesauce!

 

 

 

All You Need; 

- Crockpot 

- Apples (peeled, cored, & diced)

- 1 tbl of cinnamon 

- 2 tbl of brown sugar 

- 1/2 cup of water 

 

Peel, core, and dice all your apples to approximately the same size. 

Place all apples into your crock pot and pour half a cup of water on top. 

Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar on top of apples and stir to combine. 

Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5-6 hours stirring occasionally. 

I highly recommend leaving the applesauce on your counter to cool some before placing into fridge safe containers. 

 

Enjoy!
