Hawaiian Pulled Pork

  Here is another crock-pot meal to add to your repertoire. I buy the pork loin roasts at Costco, they come in a package of four, and they're the perfect size for your family with some leftovers for a yummy lunch or second meal.  I paired it with Hawaiian rolls and steamed broccoli.  Easy. Delicious.

Hawaiian Pulled Pork

3 pounds pork shoulder (or butt)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (left this out for the kiddos)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple pieces, drained
salt and pepper
rolls

Place pork in crockpot, followed by onion and remaining ingredients.  Cook for 6-8 hours on low.  While cooking, when meat looks tender enough, shred with 2 forks so it absorbs more juice. Add salt and pepper to taste (about 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper)

Tangy Slow Cooker Pork Roast

Melissa's Notes: I made this last week for Sunday dinner and it was great, it made good leftovers too (in James' opinion, the leftovers were better!). Although, I didn't think it was really "tangy", and I probably would use a little more salt next time I make it. You could do a double duty dinner with this and have pork sandwiches for the second dinner. I added purple potatoes to the crockpot, and you have to do this, the potatoes may have been the best part!! Serve over egg noodles or rice. We served it with jello and sauteed shredded zucchini.
