Crock Pot BBQ Pulled Pork

July 23, 2014 by Margaret 8 Comments

I have not enjoyed cooking this summer. I’ve lost all motivation to be in my kitchen. I’m blaming the heat. I’m hoping, and I’m sure my husband is hoping too, that my desire to cook returns. In the mean time we’re eating a lot of sandwiches. BBQ Pulled Pork is a family favorite. Good thing you just toss everything in the crock pot.

Isn’t the crock pot great. I really don’t use my enough. If I was like my sister and had a stash of Crock Pot Freezer meals ready to go, my summer meals would be better. Maybe I just need more recipes. Hmmm, Okay! Now I’m thinking cooking could start to get fun again. Lets change things up a bit. So for your change up. Try our Crock Pot BBQ Pulled Pork, you’ll love it.

Crock Pot BBQ Pulled Pork

1 – 3 pound boneless pork roast

1 onion, chopped

1/2 cup chicken broth or water

2 cups bottled or homemade barbeque sauce

2 tablespoons dry mustard

2 tablespoons honney

1 tablespoon soy sauce

salt and pepper

Sprinkle onion on the bottom of crock pot. Place pork on top. Add broth, cover, and cook on low for about 8 hours. Remove pork roast and let cool enough to handle.

Pull pork roast into thin shreds. You’ll want to remove any fat and gristle. Skim fat from broth. Return pulled pork to crock pot.

Stir in barbecue sauce, dry mustard, honey, and soy sauce.

Cook for 1 hour on low.

Serve on toasted rolls or hamburger buns.

I hope you enjoy. We sure did!

Stay tuned I’m thinking of returning to the kitchen soon.

Do any of you loose you desire to cook in the summer?

What do you do about it?

Turkey Burgers

My husband gets all the credit for this recipe. He and I were going through a healthy meat phase a while ago and found a lot of different recipes for turkey burger. We didn’t really like any of them 100% so, John came up with his own recipe.

Turkey Burgers

1 lb lean ground turkey
1/4 lb lean ground pork
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
2 green onions, chopped
1 egg, well beaten
3 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 ground pepper
3 tbsp soy sauce
Orange Marmalade

In a blender mix green pepper, onion, egg, milk, salt, pepper, and soy sauce until smooth. Pour over bread crumbs. Let stand to soften. Mix pork and turkey, add crumb mixture. Mix well. Make into 6 – 3/4″ thick patties. In a non-stick frying pan (electric) heat and coat pan with 1 tbsp olive. Cook patties over medium heat until done. Brush with orange marmalade. Serve on whole wheat bun with tomato, lettuce and onion slice. YUM!
NOTE: You can grill them but they are very soft and have a tendency to stick and break into the flames.
