Beef or Pork Roast & Shredded BBQ Sandwiches

I love to make Crock Pot Roasts! Beef or pork, it doesn't matter, because it makes my house smell o so yummy when you walk in the door with amazingly little effort. What I love even more is that if I make a BIG roast, then we have left overs. I love these left overs to make several things, but a favorite is pulled pork or beef sandwiches. Oh so easy, week day dinner! Its especially amazing with our own homemade BBQ sauce!


FOR ROAST:

• IN GALLON FREEZER BAG : 5 pound pork butt roast cut into thirds (optional), 2 onion soup mix packets, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 cup water.
• TO COOK: Just remove roast from bag and put into crock pot. Cook on low for 7-8 hours.
• TO SERVE:  Serve with veggie, garlic mashed potatoes and bread... or whatever you prefer. Only pull our what you want your family to actually eat for dinner into a serving dish. From my experience, whatever is on the table is game for starving teenage boys. The rest allow to cool, and package shredded or whole for bbq pulled pork(or beef) sandwiches or other yummy meals.

FOR PULLED PORK:

• IN QUART SIZE FREEZER BAG: Put the remaining pork roast (after you have shredded it) and add 1 cup of your favorite BBQ Sauce. We make ours HERE.  Add to a quart size labeled zip bag, remove air, seal (squish bag a bit to distribute sauce) and freeze. 
• TO COOK: Warm in microwave or on stove top.
• TO SERVE: Serve on toasted rolls or hamburger buns with potato salad and coleslaw
