Pulled Pork Sandwiches

I think I did pretty good with this. :-) Here is my journey making BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches. :-)



I used a 2.5 lb boneless pork loin roast. I cut up half a large onion into thin rings and spread them out on the bottom and then sprinkled about 2 tbsp of flour over the top. I placed the roast on top of the onions and flour and sprinkled the top with season salt, pepper, salt and chili powder. I do this all by sight, just be sure you don't over do the chili powder, unless you like it spicy! :-) Set your crock pot on 8-10 hours depending on when you start and when you would like to eat. :-)




This is what the pork looked like after about three hours.



At about 5 hours in the crock pot, I took half an 18 oz bottle of BBQ sauce (just pick your favorite sauce!) and covered the top of the pork roast. At about 6.5 hours you are going to want to flip the pork roast and make sure you cover the bottom with the sauce from the bottom of the crock pot.



At about 7.5 hours, use your meat therometer to make sure the internal temperature is at, at least 170°.



If the temp is right, you should be able to use two forks and the pork roast should shred VERY easily. You should take the time to make sure all the pieces are shredded.



This is how your pork should look after you have shredded it. At this time, add the rest of your BBQ sauce. Make sure you stir the shredded pork around to make sure it's fully covered. Cover crock pot and let it simmer for the last half hour. This will make sure that the BBQ sauce really soaks in to the pork.




Okay, so I didn't make rolls...but it wasn't my fault! I was totally ready, but then I realized since we moved I hadn't bought any yeast. :-( So we are having it on bread tonight. Trust me, it's good, but MUCH better on warm, fresh rolls. :-) I put a thin layer of butter on my bread just because. :-)
I like to load up my bread/roll with pork and eat it with a fork. However for smaller children or if you want to pick it up and eat it, I suggest using less pork per sandwich.



Here is the sandwich...serve with whatever sides you choose. Tonight, I just did green beans...cause I'm a slacker like that...and we had fruit with lunch. :-)



Here is Ryan enjoying his dinner! Please ignore all the crap on my table. :-) I hope you all liked reading about our dinner. :-) Feel free to try the recipe...it's SUPER easy because the crock pot does most of the work! Like I said before, I used a 2.5 lb pork roast, and it easily feeds 4 people. If you have more in your family or want to ensure leftovers...get a bigger roast! :-)
