Pulled Smoked Pork Barbecue Sandwich w/ Baked Crab Cakes

Dinner Tonight: Pulled Smoked Pork Barbecue Sandwich w/ Baked Crab Cakes

Spent the day fishing again and again didn't catch anything that was very big. But did catch about 10 small Bass and Blue Gill. Love being out with the peace and quiet. The weather was beautiful again. It was 50 degrees when I got up and it reached a high of only 77 with no humidity. Hard to beat for July weather! For dinner I prepared a Pulled Smoked Pork Barbecue Sandwich w/ Baked Crab Cakes.




I had planned on a Pulled Smoked Pork Barbecue Sandwich with some BBQ Beans or some type of a Potato Dish but I had a small container of Crab Meat that I had to use and decided to make Crab Cakes. I used Montgomery Inn Pulled Pork w/ Barbecue Sauce. This may well be the best BBQ in the land! At least Bob Hope thought so when he was alive. Mr Hope would order this straight from Montgomery Inn back then and have it shipped to wherever he was at the time. Around here it hasn't few rivals. This comes in a 2 LB. container and I just get the amount I want and freeze the rest. Incredible taste in an  excellent BBQ Sauce. Served it on a Healthy Life Whole Grain Bun, toooo good!





To go with my BBQ Sandwich I prepared some Baked Crab Cakes. I watched Bobby Deen make these

last weekend on the Cooking Channel and they looked delicious. So I thought I would give them a try. The recipe makes 12 Crab Cakes but I only had a 1/2 LB. of Crab Claw Meat so I only made 6. The recipe also called for Jumbo Crab Meat and 1 Egg, which I substituted with Egg Beater's. They turned out very good so I'm looking forward to preparing a full batch of the them using Jumbo Crab Meat instead of the Claw Meat. I served them with Louisiana Remoulade Dressing, which is perfect for any Seafood. Good Baked Crab Cake recipe to keep. I left the full recipe at the end of the post along with a link to Bobby Deen recipes. For dessert later a bowl of Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunks.
