Pulled pork sandwiches: an easy breazy dinner

I'm a mom... a pregnant mommy right now, and easy, quick dinners are essential.  I don't have much time or energy sometimes to make something that takes more than the most minimal effort.  This is why my slow cooker is used many times a week.  One of our favorite slow cooker meals is pulled pork sandwiches.


What you need:
  • a slow cooker
  • a pork shoulder (it's best if you find one that has netting around it), pork roast can work too but it's not as good
  • barbeque sauce
  • a small onion
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • hamburger buns
You'll want to give the pork several hours to cook.  Depending on your slow cooker it can take between 4-8 hours before the meat is just falling apart, which is how you want it to be.  It's best if you give it more time than you think you'll need and just check it every few hours, you can always warm it again if it gets done too early.

Directions: (All amounts are according to personal preference, you can use less or more of everything depending on your own preferences.)

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 4-8 hours
  • Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker.  Leave the netting on the pork.
  • Cover the pork in about 1 1/2 cups barbeque sauce.
  • Add about 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce.
  • Slice up half the onion and place on top the pork shoulder.
  • Put the lid on the slow cooker and turn on High.  Cook for 4-8 hours, or until meat is tender and falling apart.
  • When it is done cooking you'll cut off the netting, and use two forks to pull apart the meat.
  • Serve on hamburger buns.
