Spice Rubbed Pulled Pork

September 26, 2014 by Mary Ellen Stringham 3 Comments

Sometime I want a great meat sandwich without having to go to a restaurant. You just can’t beat a good pulled pork. So here is another pulled pork recipe.

“Spice Rubbed Pulled Pork”

Spice Mix

1 tbsp onion salt
2 tbsp paprika
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cyan pepper

Combine ingredients in a small bowl and mix thoroughly.

2 1/2 pounds boneless pork roast
3/4 cup cider vinegar

Rub the spice mix into the pork roast. Wrap the roast in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to overnight.

Place spiced pork into crock pot or slow cooker. Add cider vinegar. Cover and cook on low 6 to 10 hours, until tender. Shred into bite size pieces. Toss lightly to coat pork in the spicy liquid. Serve on your favorite roll or bun.

It freezes great for leftovers on another day.

I tastes good with just a little BBQ sauce on it too. Make some for your next family party.

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?

Crock Pot BBQ Pork Chops & Oven Fried Potatoes

October 9, 2013 by Margaret 4 Comments

A fabulous dinner at my house is when everyone polishes their plates. This was one of those dinners. I liked it because not only did it taste wonderful it was so easy.

Oven Fried Potatoes are like candy. You just keep eating them. I make lots and I always say I made too many, because I eat way to much.

Oven Fried Potatoes

5- 6 medium to large Potatoes (cubed, you can peel them if you want)

1/3 cup Canola Oil

1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

A few shakes of Red Robin Seasoning (purchased at you local Red Robin)

If you don’t have Red Robin spice:

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Mix oil, spices, and Parmesan cheese in large bowl. Add cubed potatoes. Stir until all potatoes are coated in oil mixture.

Line pan with tin foil. Pour potatoes on pan. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 40-50 min or until tender.

I found a great recipe for pork chops and I was so excited to try it. Well this is not that recipe. When I went to my pantry to find the soy sauce I remembered I had used the last of it the night before.

These chops were placed in the crock pot with only my favorite BBQ sauce and cooked on low for about 6 hours. They were very tasty and sooo easy!

I hope you enjoy!

Marinated Pork for Crockpot

September 16, 2013 by Margaret 3 Comments

I’m a little busier these days so I’ve been looking for crock pot recipes. I complain about my kids being picky eaters, but I really shouldn’t because I’m probably even pickier. Good thing I’m the cook. So, as I look for recipes to try I have to consider all our picky-ness.

This marinade has been a family favorite but never tried in the crock pot. I thought it would be a good recipe to start with. I marinated the pork roast overnight and then slow cooked it all the next day. I don’t remember how large my roast was, but the full 8 hours was a little long. You might want to check at 6 hours.

I thought it was really good. The kids however got hung up on the french fries. Oh well!

Pork Marinade

2/3 cup vegetable oil

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup red wine vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

2 garlic cloves (I used garlic powder)

1 teaspoons pepper

1 teaspoon salt

Mix all ingredients in a closeable gallon plastic bag. Then add pork roast. Marinade over night.

(My sister even suggested freezing for a later date.)

Remove pork form marinade and place in crock pot cover with 1/2 cup water. Cook on low for

6-8 hours.
