On a recent road trip, we stopped off at an ABC restaurant where I had my first pulled pork sandwich. I loved it! On the same weekend, I found a recipe in the July issue of Woman’s World, called Carolina Pulled Pork sandwiches. I’ve changed it up a bit, but however you make it, you won’t be disappointed. It is a perfect no ‘fuss meal’ to serve for a larger group.
Ingredients:
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 - 3 pounds pork shoulder blade roast
- 2 tablespoons dry fajita seasoning
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- Place onion and garlic in bottom of 3-qt slow cooker. Top with pork. Sprinkle with seasoning.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, sugar, cornstarch, vinegar and salt, until smooth.
- Pour over pork. Cover and cook on low about 8-10 hours. (to have it done in 8 hours, I cooked it on high for the first couple of hours.)
- Transfer pork to a plate, reserving sauce in slow cooker. Skim off oil/fat coming to the top.
- Cool pork slightly. Using two forks, shred pork into bite sized pieces. Return to slow cooker, mixing with sauce. Stir in 1/4 - 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, according to taste, if desired. Keep warm to serve.
- If serving the next day, refrigerate and reheat in roaster or other ovenproof dish.
This sounds so good. It's on the agenda for this weekend -- if I can wait that long. Jan
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful. I L-O-V-E pulled pork!
ReplyDeleteYou've solved my dilemma about what to fix for the weekend. Looks declicious! Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried pulled pork with fajita seasoning..must try that next time. We also enjoy pulled beef or chicken.
ReplyDeleteSounds very good. I love pulled pork sandwiches...
ReplyDeleteHi...This recipe for pulled pork sounds yummy! Do you happen to know if Woman's World magazine is still in circulation? Thanks and I can't wait to try this..:)
ReplyDeleteOhhhh...that looks delish! I love pulled pork :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I love pulled pork but sometimes my stomach doesn't like it. Recently I tried turkey and it was great! I posted the recipe (along with a few others) on my blog yesterday. Feel free to stop on by and take a look!! :)
ReplyDeleteElaine,
ReplyDeleteI got the recipe from the July issue of this year. All the best.
Pulled pork is really good done in the slow cooker. Here they like to serve it with the coleslaw in the sandwich and I have seen recipes the same. I like it without.
ReplyDeleteI have never had pulled pork sandwich, but this sounds yummy!
ReplyDeletePulled pork sandwiches are a favortie with my kids, but I have to try it next time with the fajita mix.
ReplyDeleteI used this recipe and added a little bbq sauce and it was awesome. My husband was dying to have me try it and I am so glad I did.
ReplyDeleteI used this to feed a crowd of 20 (with some farmer sausage as back-up ;)) - it was awesome - used a pork roast and saved the cornstarch until the end (while I shredded the meat put the slowcooker on high and added the cornstarch). Also added some homemade smoky, chipolte flavored bbq sauce at the end to the mixture!
