Put These Ingredients In Your Crock Pot And Watch Out!

I grew up eating Pork And Beans that came in a can. My mom would always have a few cans packed when we went camping and I remember her opening the lid and letting the contents fall into a pan, the scooping out the pat of white fat before heating it up. We usually ate the bowl of pork and beans with hot dots cut up in it. Hey, no judgment for the Beans and Weenies staple that graced our picnic table, we were camping remember?

When we moved to Minnesota they dumped cans of pork and beans into a casserole dish, stirred in BBQ sauce and diced onions and baked them.

I love the idea of having a Hawaiian style dish that is based off the familiar dish. Perfect for serving with hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken or whatever else you want to put on the grill.

You could just make this on the stove top but it is even easier to just put everything in the crock pot and let it simmer. So next time you are invited to a tailgate party, a birthday party, or anything in between, go ahead and sign up to bring a side dish that is sure to be a hit. But, just between the two of us, I would definitely leave out the hotdogs!

Want To Kick Back and Relax This Weekend? Fix a Crock Pot of This And Make It Happen

True Confession. I am TERRIBLE when it comes to mastering crock pot recipes. Until recently!

I have been writing enough recipes to see a trend that has inspired me to actually dust off my crock pot and used it twice this last month! That is huge for me since I am pretty sure I have only used it three times since the Olympics were held in Sydney. Yeah. That long ago. But the trend I have been seeing are the best recipes out on the internet.

Super savory dishes that have a sauce element seem to win hands down. Not just the standard onion soup mix with water, but actual enchilada, mushroom soup, or bbq sauce. I think it helps to break down the meat and infuse it with flavors verses having to dip or dredge them though sauces.

And the meat is so tender you can cut it with a fork.

This Hawaiian Barbeque is perfect for a luau, or just chillin at home with a great book.

Just because you are home doesn’t mean you need to spend all your time in the kitchen, it is time for ho`ohau`oli  which means to have fun in the Hawaiian language.

This is what Nicole of The Salty Marshmallow has to say about this super simple kick back recipe!

“I like putting a new, really easy, slow cooker recipe out on Friday. It makes me feel like I’m helping y’all out with your dinner plans for next week.Taking some of the foot work out of it for you? Hopefully!”

When you know you are not going to have time to cook! Dump it in and let it do it’s thing!

My mom use to put things in the crock pot and I have a ton of friends who swear that their lives would not be the same without crock -put recipes, but I just didn’t get it. UNTIL NOW.

Seriously, I just made pulled pork for sandwiches the first time a few years ago.

My biggest question was , “Why didn’t I do this years ago?”

I think I was used to things tasting dry or really greasy, but this recipe caused me to turn over a new leaf. I LOVE this so much because I can make this when all our kids come over and just set out a bag of chips, some homemade fruit cocktail and hoagie rolls.

Yessir! We are ready to eat!m And I am voting we use paper plates!

This is what Lauren of Lauren Gruetman has to say about this hungry crowd pleasing recipe.

Push a button and then walk away. And let me tell you, just because it’s easy doesn’t mean it ain’t delicious! In fact, with this crockpot pulled pork recipe, just the opposite. A small amount of effort will be rewarded with some AMAZING BBQ.

This recipe really knocked it out of the park!

It seems like my crockpot only get used in the colder months at our house. Chili, stews, beans, but this recipe for pulled pork really hits it out of the park.

Feeding a large crowd isn’t always easy. I mean I have six kids and just trying to remember who likes mayonnaise, who doesn’t like mayo, who likes mayo and mustard, and who only wants mustard can be overwhelming. I used to make their sandwiches and write their name on the wrapper but then just made index cards with everyones name and when I made their sandwich I would place them on the card.

Having all the fixings for a hoagie roll sandwich is a great option whether you are feeding the masses or just a few.

Plus, there is nothing like coming home from all day soccer tournaments or swim meets and being met with the aroma of good cooking.

And knowing that lunch or dinner is going to be ready makes the temptation of pulling through a drive-thru a lot less. That is a huge savings on the family budget.

I love being able to make this ahead of time. When you know you ae going to be tight for time, this is great to put into an airtight container and toss it in cooler with the other ingredients.

This is what our friends at All Recipes posted about this family favorite.

 “Slow cooked, Texas-style pulled pork that is served on a buttered and toasted roll. My family’s favorite.”
