I Love my Crock Pot!





So I bought a pork loin roast at the market, and decided to make some slow-cooked pulled pork using my crock pot. These are two of my favorite things in the whole world - my crock pot and some delicious barbecue pulled pork! What's easier than the crock pot? Set and forget it baby!

And what better to pair a pulled pork sandwich with but some coleslaw. And not any old coleslaw, I got a recipe from my sis for KFC's famous coleslaw. Now I must say I really don't like KFC's food, EXCEPT for their coleslaw! Now I can eat a bucketful of their slaw any day lol. This recipe is amazing, it tastes just like KFC's!


MY BARBECUE PULLED PORK SANDWICH


2 ½ lb boneless pork loin roast

6 garlic cloves

1 onion, sliced

1/3 cup beef stock or broth

6 tbsp barbecue sauce

3 tsp spicy brown mustard

2 tbsp brown sugar

½ tsp thyme

2 tsp dried parsley

¼ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

hot pepper sauce, to taste (I used 8 dashes for slight heat)

20 crusty rolls or buns


1. In a crock pot, combine all ingredients. Cook on high for 5 hours or low for 8 hours.

2. When pork is finished, shred or “pull” using 2 forks.

3. Heat rolls in a 375 degree oven for 5 minutes. Slice and fill with pulled pork. Serve with coleslaw.



THE BEST COLESLAW

1/3 cup white sugar

¼ cup milk

¼ cup buttermilk

2 ½ tbsp lemon juice

1 ½ tbsp white vinegar

½ tsp salt

1/8 tsp black pepper

1 head cabbage, finely chopped

2 medium carrots, shredded

½ white onion, minced


1. Combine the mayonnaise, sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper in a large bowl and whisk until smooth.

2. Add the cabbage, carrots and onion, and mix well.

3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
