Why We Love Pulled Pork
Pulled pork sandwiches are one of our favorite meals to have on hand. We cook a whole shoulder or loin roast and have enough pork for several meals. There are so many reasons why we love this meat:
- Pork is very inexpensive: We find great pork roasts or shoulders almost always for less than $2 per pound. The cheapest cut you can find is just fine.
- Pork is versatile: There are so many uses for the shredded meat, from sandwiches to salads, or by itself as a main dish.
- It goes a long way: One good sized pork roast will make enough pulled pork for a family of 4 to have several meals.
This is also a fun recipe to make with the kiddos. Ours love to add the ingredients and then to help pull the pork when it is time. Of course they also LOVE to eat, eat, eat the delicious meat!

How To Make Pulled Pork:

Serve it up:
8 Kaiser rolls
1 8 oz can Baked Beans
