Crockpot Pulled Pork Sandwiches {Recipe Remake}

Sara Levine 1/21/2015 1 Comment Edit

When I first started blogging in the fall of 2011, I had a terrible point and shoot camera, and a kitchen with absolutely no natural light. While I still have a kitchen with absolutely no natural light (Dear Future House, If you could help me out with this issue, that would be awesome!), I do have a much better camera and a continued love for a delicious pulled pork sandwich, so I decided to remake these pulled pork sandwiches from three years ago. This version is still super easy - there's only 3 ingredients! - and is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

To make the dish, you will need pork tenderloin (which tend to come in packages of 2), 16 oz. root beer and barbecue sauce (8-16oz).

Place the pork tenderloin into your crockpot, and then pour the root beer over it.

Cook on high for 3 hours (or on low for 6 hours and 15 minutes). When cooked, remove from the crockpot and shred the tenderloin using two forks.

Keeping the crockpot on the warm setting, return the shredded pork to the crockpot as you shred it.

Once you have fully shredded the tenderloin and returned it to the crockpot, add in the barbecue sauce and cook on low for additional 25 minutes.

When it's all done, serve it on warm buns with extra barbecue sauce or mayonnaise, and enjoy with coleslaw (I put some on my sandwich) or a summer salad. If you'd prefer to be a little healthier, you could definitely make these in whole wheat or lettuce wraps! This makes 6-8 sandwiches, depending on how loaded each sandwich is - and leftovers are great to add to salads or to baked potatoes for a quick and easy lunch!

Bold Ranch Crockpot Pork Chops {Recipe Remix}

Sara @ Forever and a Recipe 8/13/2013 30 Comments Edit

A year and a half ago, in February 2012, I blogged my take on a delicious recipe from Picky Palate. Then, at some point in June, my blog post started getting a serious amount of traffic. The original blog post was taken long before I had my new camera and I thought about going back and updating the old pictures, but then I thought, instead of updating the pictures, maybe I'll try to re-make the recipe with a bit of a twist - and the Bold Ranch Crockpot Pork Chops were born!

All you need to make these are 4 ingredients ...

1 10oz can cream of chicken soup
1 packet of ranch dressing dips mix
1 tablespoon of cajun seasoning
4 thick cut pork chops (or up to 6 thin cut)

This might be one of the easiest - and least expensive - recipes that I make. First, mix the cream of chicken soup, ranch mix and cajun seasoning together in one bowl.

The cream of chicken soup gives it a yellowish color that is darkened by the cajun seasoning. If you love extra spice, you can add a bit more of the seasoning, or if you prefer a little less heat, you can use a little less. This may affect the coloring of your marinade.

Then, put your pork chops into the crock pot, and cover with the bold ranch marinade.

Cook for 4 hours on high (or 6 hours on low), and serve over your favorite starch! When making something with a little bit of spice, I like to serve with mashed potatoes - but rice or a baked potato would go perfectly too!

Such an easy recipe with only 4 ingredients and very little prep work - less than 5 minutes! Hope you had a fantastic weekend & your week is off to a great start! I'll see you tomorrow for Wedding Wednesday!
