Open Face Crock Pot Pork Shoulder Sandwich w/ Mashed Potatoes and Gravy

Dinner Tonight: Open Face Crock Pot Pork Shoulder Sandwich w/ Mashed Potatoes and Gravy








Cloudy, rain on and off, hot, and humid around here today, but they're saying we have some more beautiful weather coming in! Hope so, I'd like to do some fishing at a local County Park this week. Hung around inside doing some odds and ends things and that was about it for the day. For dinner tonight, nothing but comfort food! I prepared an Open Face Crock Pot Pork Shoulder Sandwich w/ Mashed Potatoes and Gravy.








I used a Kroger Brand Pork Shoulder (Butt) Roast, about 2 1/2 lbs. I put the Pork on this morning and let it slow cook through-out the day. All I needed was the Pork Shoulder or Boston Butt  (bone-in or boneless), 1/3 cup of Water, Sea Salt, Pepper (lightly), Roasted Cumin, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and JB's Fatboy Haug Waush BBQ Sauce. Then to prepare it; Combine all the Seasonings in a bowl and mix well. Rub the Seasoning Mix all over the Roast, make sure all sides have Seasoning.  Place the Roast in the slow cooker with water. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour. Turn to LOW and cook 7 to 9 hours longer, until very tender. Remove roast and discard fat and juices. Chop or shred the pork; return to slow cooker. Mix a little barbecue sauce into the meat for flavor. Cook for about 1 hour longer, until hot. Serve on warm split sandwich buns with coleslaw (Optional) and extra BBQ Sauce on the side. The pork just fell apart, not much need to shred it! Moist and just bursting with flavor! Served 3 people with plenty leftover for Sandwiches the rest of the week.








I served the Pork on top of a toasted half of a Healthy Life Wheat Sandwich Bun. I also had a side of Bob Evan's Mashed potatoes topped with some Heinz Mushroom Brown Gravy. Hope all you can try this sometime, it makes one incredible and delicious dinner! For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.
