Tasty Tuesday: Crock-Pot BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich

We had one heck of a spread at my Step Mommy’s house for the 4th of July yesterday. My Sister whipped out some ribs and other goodies, Grammy made her amazing broccoli salad and I brought my version of Greek salad and fruit. I also made pulled pork in the crock-pot for the buttery King’s Hawaiian rolls my Sis bought. We had way too much food!

The pulled pork was very simple to make, and after soaking up my marinade for hours, was really yummy too! To make the marinade, you’ll need:

~ Pork Bootie {I find this cut yummier than the shoulder}

~ Brown sugar

~ Tomato paste {about half a small can}

~ Apple Cider Vinegar

~ Worcestershire sauce

~ Blue agave {or honey}, just a bit

~ Seasonings: salt/pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, red pepper flakes

Mix all the ingredients together until it becomes a {bbq} sauce like consistency. Season the pork bootie with more salt/pepper, place in the crockpot, lather on the sauce and let the arse go on high for four/five hours. After about that time, pull/shred the pork apart {it should pretty much fall apart} and cook for awhile longer so the saucy yummies gets all caramelized.

After the pulled pork cooled down a bit, I packaged the pulled pork up for transport to Grammy’s house and our 4th of July festivities. We slapped on bar-b-que from our favorite bar-b-que restuarant and called it a sammie!

My cousin came over with Alina’s best bud Payton and baby boy Camden, and my Sister brought her two fur babies {one being a brand new, beautiful Rottweiler puppy named Stella}. It was so nice to just relax and enjoy the company of loved ones. Especially when the Vegas weather was so…. well, not Vegas-y.

I took so many pictures yesterday and a proper 4th of July post is in the works! I hope your family had a great day yesterday, filled with yummy food, of course. Let me know if you post any recipes from yesterday; I’d love to check to check them out!
