At Smithfield's, when you order a bbq pork sandwich, it comes with pulled pork, a tasty white bun, and a huge helping of cole slaw on top. I really don't like slaw in any other setting except this one. There's the tangy vinegariness (is that a word?) with the sweet, crunch slaw, topped with carbs. Yes please!
The upside is that we don't always have to drive to get Smithfield's. If we're very good, Grandma in North Carolina will send JP a bottle of the sauce for Christmas! Follow the recipe below for making a really delicious meal that will make enough leftovers for an entire week of bbq sandwiches.
Easy Peasy Pulled Pork Sandwiches
1 jar bbq sauce (we like vinegar based ones like Smithfield's or this one)
1 pork shoulder (one that fits comfortably in your crock pot, 3-5 lbs.)
Sandwich buns
1 pint cole slaw
1. Place pork shoulder into crock pot. Pour jar of bbq sauce on top. Turn crock pot low for 8-10 hours.
2. Go about your day.
3. When it's dinner time, pull the bone out of the pork and shred meat with a fork.
4. Toast buns, if desired.
5. Place heaping spoonfuls of pork onto the buns. Top with slaw, other side of the bun, and dig in!
Use the leftover pork to mix in with rice and peas, make sandwiches, even top with a fried egg (hey, no judgment!). And thanks, Grandma, for the jar of bbq sauce!!
I JUST made chicken and rice with the sauce Grandma sent Matt! Marinated the chicken for 2 days, and then made yellow rice--it was delicioso, and Matt loved it! Planning on making these sandwiches when Mommi visits--they look yummy! (love, haley)
ReplyDeleteNext best thing to actually being in Eastern North Carolina!! Sooooo glad the man in your life -- and the one in Haley's -- know good barbeque when they taste it!! Love and XXX -- G'ma
