It's Monday morning, the slow cooker is on and filled with a pork shoulder. Yep, we're having pulled pork sandwiches for dinner tonight. This is one of my favouite simple dinners. Here's why I love this dinner:
- Simple and easy. Rub pork with a spice mixture, put in slow cooker and leave it fir about 8 hour on low. Come dinner time, all I have to do is throw some dressing on the coleslaw (I like a tangy cider based dressing), shred the pork and load up some whole wheat buns. Probably less than 15 minutes of work total to make this dinner.
- Tastey!! Hubby likes to use an all purpose rub that from his Memphis Blues cookbook on all sorts of things so it's naturally what we use when making pulled pork. And really, a little pork fat make almost everything taste good!
- Economical meal. Protien can be expensive. We try to go to a local butcher and pick up our meat on sale. This particular cut of meat was less than $13 and will make us at least 8 servings.
- Delicious leftovers. Pulled pork pizza. Pulled pork tacos. Pulled pork nachos. Or even this delicious looking Pork & Potato Hash!
