Does your crockpot sit in the cupboard and gather dust or are you a huge fan and use it all the time? I’m somewhere in-between. I have a handful of recipes that I cook only in my crockpot. Tortilla soup, traditional chili, sweet potato chili, and pulled pork. I need to acquire a few more slow cooker recipes, so if you have a favorite, feel free to share it with me.

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

What’s not to love about placing all your ingredients in, setting a timer, and coming back 8 hours later to dinner being ready? I think the reason I don’t use mine more often, is most recipes that I cook in it are winter meals, so during the summer months, it sits, and we BBQ outside. But, not for this recipe. Pulled Pork Sandwiches are good any time of year, for lunch or for dinner.

We enjoyed ours served on toasted Hawaiian rolls, with a side of grilled fresh pineapple, and a simple coleslaw.

Everything into the crockpot. See you in 8 hours.

Two forks easily shred (or pull) the pork.

It was such a beautiful evening, that we dined outside. And this was the perfect warm weather meal to enjoy!!

Pulled Pork-5

For my simple slaw, I used red and green cabbage, carrots, and red bell pepper. Slice everything very , very thin. I cheated and used a bottled slaw dressing (Marie’s is my favorite). Top with a little cracked pepper. I think that cole slaw is best made earlier in the day and refrigerated.

I sliced a fresh pineapple into thick slices and put them directly onto the BBQ grill for about 3-4 minutes per side.

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • Mix salt, pepper, garlic & onion powders together in small bowl. Rub all side generously with seasoning mix.
  • Slice yellow onion.
  • In glass measuring cup or bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce and root beer.
  • Place meat in large crockpot. Top with sliced onions. Pour BBQ sauce mix over top.
  • Cover and set to 8 hours.
  • When done, the meat should easily fall off the bone.
  • Remove from sauce and shred meat using two forks.

  • Add in approx one cup of cooking liquid to meat and onions.
  • Serve on grilled buns with additional BBQ sauce.

    Who doesn’t love pulled pork in a bun? We don’t have root beer in the UK but I’m sure I could sub something else 🙂
