Why We Love Pulled Pork
Pulled pork sandwiches is one of our favorite meals to have on hand. We cook a whole shoulder or loin roast and have enough pork for several meals (moms love this part). 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 one of the meals our picky daughter will actually eat!

How To Make Pulled Pork:
1. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it cool down

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