10 of Pentacles Pulled Pork

6 lb pork roast
2 onions, sliced, divided
1 onion, chopped
1 TBS chopped Garlic
1/2 C apple cider vinegar
1/2 C honey
1 C water
2 16 oz bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce

Slice up the two onions nice and thin. Spread one of them on the bottom of the crock pot. Put the pork roast in (I usually go for a shoulder roast) with the fat side up. This way the fat will run down and make your meat nice and tender.

Pour in vinegar and water. Then pour the honey over the top of the roast. Add the chopped garlic to the top of the roast. Put the other onion on top of the roast. You can add salt and pepper here if you like. I don’t.

Put the lid on the crockpot and turn it on low. For a 6 lb piece of meat, you want to cook it at least 10-12 hours. This is reminiscent of the work you do to get to the 10 of Pentacles point in your life. You have to wait for the goodness that is pulled pork!

When the time is done, turn the heat off and walk away for at least an hour. This is for two reasons. One, you want it to cool a bit. Two, by letting it sit, you are letting the juice go back into the meat and it will be better for it.

Scrape the onions on the top to the side. Then pull the fat layer off and lay it to the side. If you have dogs or cats, they can have a SMALL piece each. I’m talking a 1-2″ square max unless you really really like a sick pet that you have to clean up after. EWWW ARWEN! This is a recipe for Gods’ sake. Sorry, but that had to be said.

Now take two forks and start pulling. If you have never done this, you will get a kick out of how easy this is! Make sure you pull the bones out and throw them away (or save them to make a soup stock with since the marrow will be heavenly at this point.)

Once the meat is shredded, depending on your time, you can add the BBQ sauce. Then you want to turn that slow cooker back on low for another 4-6 hours. This will let that sauce soak in so deep. Mmmm!

Serve with hamburger buns, coleslaw and extra napkins!

ENJOY!

I recommend the largest your kitchen can accommodate. Mine will cook a large chicken or a small turkey.

I've got a Hamilton Beach 5 quart travel one.

This weekends slow cooker is lasagna .. It's a friends dish

Ricotta cheese and mix one egg and basil.
Layer starting with sauce the key is exta sauce in crookpot lasagna so it doesn't stick.
I usually break my uncooked lasagna noodles into pieces.
Then add clumps of the ricotta mix add a bunch of sauce and go until you run out.

Cook on low all day.

Wish me luck !

My crock has 3 changable sizes 2, 4 and 6 quart bowls.
Except I no longer have the 2 quart one as R dropped it outside.
(Mental note to self, check online and see if company offers replacement bowls)
The 2 quart size was great for sauces and dips

I like that I can just pull the bowls out for clean up...easy peasy

4 chicken breasts
+1 bottle of good bbq sauce (or make your own like I do)
+1 chopped onion
+6 hours on low
= yummy shredded BBQ chicken

♥ my slow cooker

Shoney's Beef Cabbage Soup recipe is fabulous. You can easily google it. My apologies for not typing it into this post but am using a cell phone.

I prefer using the light colored kidney beans. The dark ones are a bit strong flavored for me. You will not regret giving this recipe a go. A friend at work told me she adds a can of niblets corn to hers.

Edit

Hey Leigh, here is the cooker I would recommend. (And I like the dial over the digital heat speed.)

Hamilton Beach 6 quart with the fasten down lid. You can take it while your food is hot to potluck parties. I believe I could roll my truck on the way to an eating party and nothing would spill out. *laughing*
