Easy-peasy Sunday night supper

This recipe isn't gourmet but it is really fast to prepare and the results are fabulous!

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Ingredients:
1 package Clubhouse Pulled Pork seasoning mix
1 Boneless pork roast - leg or shoulder (size is dependent on your crock pot)

Directions:
Turn your crockpot to high.  Let it warm up while you brown the pork roast in 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over medium heat.  Turn the roast so all sides get browned.  Prepare the seasoning mix according to directions on the package.  Place pork roast in crock pot and pour prepared seasoning mix over top.  Cook for 4 - 6 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low.  Pull the pork apart using two forks - your goal is to shred the meat into strings.  Stir meat into the sauce until well coated.

Serve pulled pork on yummy white buns (or whole wheat if that's your thing) and top with your favorite coleslaw.

Keep lots of napkins handy because this is one messy meal!

Cooking tip - if you are really in a hurry, you can skip the meat browning step.  There are mixed reviews about whether or not browning meat actually increasing flavour.  I am of the opinion that it does but I've read articles to the contrary.  It's your choice.

Cooking tip two - Pork shoulders are a very cheap meat to buy.  It's worth grabbing one to throw in your freezer when they are on sale.
