Hey there, I just wanted to post my recipe that was featured in TOS The Home Front E-Newsletter.
Easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Apple Coleslaw
My kids really love to cook alongside me, and I enjoy having them join in-I see it as a way to connect on many levels. Cooking with your kids teaches them that you care, as well as patience, good hand washing, measuring, nutrition, and the "science" of food. What better way to get kids to try something new! Below is one of my recipes I like making with the "troops."
Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Serves 6 + (6 quart slow cooker)
Adapt to fit your needs (Larger crowd for end-of-the-year celebration? Just double the recipe!)
3 lb. pork shoulder (butt) roast
2 bottles barbeque sauce (your favorite)
1/3 cup water
Rolls or buns
Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray. Trim excess fat from pork roast if desired. You will need to leave some for proper cooking (keeps it from drying out). Set roast in bottom of cooker and pour all of both bottles of barbeque sauce over meat. Add 1/3-cup water. Cook on low for 8 hours.
After roast is fully cooked, remove and place in large bowl. Shred completely with two forks. Serve on your choice of bread.
Apple Cole Slaw
Serves 6 +
2 packages coleslaw
1 apple (your favorite type)
½ cup chopped walnuts
Your favorite coleslaw dressing
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. honey
In large bowl, empty both packages of prewashed coleslaw. Add dressing-a little at a time, since it easy to add too much. You can add more but you can't take it away! Next, stir in apple cider vinegar and honey; mix well. Set aside. Chop apples into small, bite-sized pieces and add to coleslaw. Mix in walnuts. Chill until dinner is ready or at least 1 hour. Enjoy!
