Pulled Pork Sammies

Pulled pork is one of my favorite things to eat. I could eat it every for weeks and not be tired of it. I've even put it into a quesadilla with cheddar cheese. I've made a few different version of it but none quite as good as a recipe my favorite aunt gave me just recently. Her secret? Beer, of course. Beer makes it better right? So with just this short introduction here is my Aunt Pammi's recipe for pulled pork.

What You Need:

5-6lb pork roast/shoulder
1/2 c ketchup
1/3 c apple cider vinegar
1/2 c brown sugar
1 slow cooker seasoning mix for bbq pulled pork
2 cans/bottles of your favorite beer

What To Do:

In the bottom of a slow cooker, combine everything but the pork shoulder, with a whisk until mixed well. If you can, cut the pork into a few pieces. This will help it cook a bit quicker and make it easier to shred. Cook on high for 6 hours. Remove the pork, and shred with two forks. Place back into the slow cooker and let cook on low for one or two more hours. Serve on hard rolls with cole slaw.

BBQ Chicken Sammies

One night, after being bored of the same old chicken, I remembered this sandwich I saw either on some restaurant menu or on on the food network. They grilled up a chicken breast, covered in BBQ sauce and served it on a bun. How simple was that? So I thought, Why not? It's easy enough, hubby loves chicken and I get something to suit my taste buds too. Plus, after all, it was grilling season. So I butterflied a chicken breast, seasoned them, grilled them up and added my own twist to it. Serve it with some grilled potatoes and veggies for a great all grilled up meal!

What You Need:

1 chicken breast, butterflied and cut into 2 pieces
2 hard rolls
2 thick slices of cheddar cheese
1 tbs mayo
lettuce
salt and pepper or your favorite grill seasoning
BBQ Sauce, your favorite will do

What To Do:

Preheat your grill and season both sides of the chicken breast with salt and pepper or grill seasoning. Place chicken breast onto grill. After 3 minutes, flip the breast over and brush on as much or as little BBQ sauce as you want. Finish cooking the breast until they're cooked through. Flip them once more, brush the other side with BBQ sauce and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each breast. Turn the grill off, close the lid the grill for about 60 seconds so that the cheese has a chance to melt a bit. Serve on hard rolls with a bit of mayo and some lettuce.
