Sweet Baby Ray’s Pulled Pork Sammies

Looks yummy, right?

There are few meals, more comforting, than barbeque anything, to me, a self professed “fat kid”… I love it. And I love Sweet Baby Ray's sauce. I also make Sweet Baby Ray's Chicken with it as well as add it to some of my chili, like my Simple Three Bean Chicken Chili.

This meal is super quick, or can be cooked in your crock pot all day. I used meat I had leftover in my freezer, from when I made Pork Loin. I shredded half of the loin and froze that half in two portions. One for chili and one for this! So yes, that $9 piece of meat made 3 meals, some with leftovers. So these sammies, cost Mama $.80 each, including the bread and the sauce. I made fries with it, and the potatoes were 3lbs for a dollar, I used half of those, so the fries were $.50. I fed my family of 3, dinner on this night for $3.70. And we were STUFFED.

I rule.

INGREDIENTS:

Approx. 1lb Pork loin, cooked and shredded
Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce
Buns of your choice. I like to use bread, but we had buns that were taking up precious space in my freezer. They had to GO!
Sides of your choice. I’m venturing into the world of home made potato salad soon… Stay tuned… smh.

DIRECTIONS:

Assuming your pork is cooked and shredded, you can make this meal quickly by just heating the pork and the sauce in a sauce pan until ready to serve. I like to sauté a little onion in the pan before I add the pork, so there’s a little grilled onion effect in there too. It’s amazing.

If your pork isn’t cooked and you’ve got, say half a loin, frozen… Just throw it in the crock pot with a little water, cover in some Baby Ray’s, start on high and finish on low. Take it out, shred it and put it back in for about 30 minutes. Done!

Mmmm…. Great food for all this chilly weather we’ve been having! Scottsdale got cold, overnight, I swear. BUT, I’m a pretty big fan of space heaters (Yes, I exercise extreme caution when using them, with a toddler in the house.) and we haven’t had to turn on our heater, YET. It’s stayed about 76 in the house just by heating the rooms we’re in. We’ll see how this power bill comes out, but I have hiiiiiiiigh hopes for a loooooow bill! Yea, buddy!

Enjoy!!
