OK…So I have to admit, I took a little help with this one! You have to try the seasoning packet from McCormick – McCormick Slow Cookers BBQ Pulled Pork Seasoning. It has to be the easiest pulled pork ever! Here goes:
3 Lbs Boneless Pork Roast
2 packets McCormick Slow Cookers BBQ Pulled Pork Seasoning
2/3 C Red Wine Vinegar – divided
2 C Ketchup – divided
2 C Brown Sugar – divided
A pack or 2 of your favorite buns or rolls (We used a wonderful roll with onions cooked in)
Mix 1/3 C Red Wine Vinegar, 1 C Ketchup, 1 C Brown Sugar and 1 packet of seasoning. Place Roast in Slow Cooker and pour the sauce over top of the meat. Cook until meat is tender and falling apart. This is typically 4 hours or so on high. Once meat is cooked, remove meat from slow cooker. Discard the sauce that you cooked the meat in. (Yes, I know, this seems like such a waste. If you are not planning to serve the meat right away, you could ladle the sauce into a container and chill in the refrigerator. Then, once chilled, remove the layer of fat from the top. Then you would be fine to reuse…otherwise, I find it to be way too fatty!) Prepare the 2nd seasoning packet the same way you did the 1st. Place this in the crock pot. Shred the pork roast with using 2 forks. (I like to give this job to my hubby). Place the shredded pork back into the crock pot with the new sauce. Heat until bubbly!
Caution…do not serve to guest unless you want to have it requested every time they visit!!!
Now for the Potatoes! A yummy blend of garlic and rosemary. And a simple dish to make!
1 – 2 lbs potatoes – scrubbed clean – unpeeled – chopped into bite size pieces (I find these to be best with red potatoes, but anything will do. I used a regular russet this time)
2 – 3 T extra virgin olive oil
2 – 3 clove garlic – pressed or finely chopped
2 T Rosemary
Black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place olive oil, garlic, rosemary and cracked black pepper into a small dish. Microwave on medium 30 seconds or so…just to heat the oil slightly. Spray a baking sheet (love a jelly roll pan for this) with cooking spray. Spread potatoes on the baking sheet and pour the olive oil mixture over the potatoes. Stir it all to coat – then spread back out into 1 layer. Bke for 15 – 25 minutes until the potatoes start to brown and develop a slight crust.
Green Beans:
Simple – We picked our fresh from the garden, washed them, let the kiddos snap them…Then boiled till they were done. Seasoned with salt & pepper and we were done.
Let me know if you try the pulled pork or the potatoes!
