BBQ Pork Shoulder Sandwich w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: BBQ Pork Shoulder Sandwich w/ Baked Fries







Really tired and stressed today. Dad is at a local assisted living center for 5 days and he's taken a turn for the worse and now we are scrambling to find a permanent place for him to stay. There's just no way we can handle him here at the house. I'm in a wheelchair and Mom is 90 and we are not able to properly care for all his needs now. We are heart broken and just nothing we can do. I had a Roast in the fridge that I'll be fixing for me and Mom tonight.








Dry Rubbed Carnitas Boneless Petite Pork Shoulder Roast and I thought I should get one. I figured the Roast would come in handy for a quick Sandwich when you're on the run. I had picked up a Swift

Premium Dry Rubbed Carnitas Boneless Petite Pork Shoulder Roast at Kroger the day before. The Dry Rubbed Carnitas Boneless Petite Pork Shoulder Roast comes packaged already seasoned. You can roast this in the oven or use the Slow Cooker as like I am today. I got my Crock Pot out and put a plastic liner in it and sprayed that with Pam Cooking Spray.First remove the Shoulder Roast from the package and place in slow cooker with 1 inch of water in bottom. Put the lid on and cook on high for 4 hours or until fork tender. And as always a special “Thank You” goes out to whomever invented the Crock Pot Liners! You’ve made cooking so much easier! Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.



Removed the Roast from slow cooker and allow to cool slightly. Then shred meat with two forks for
my Sandwiches. The Roast came out mouth-watering delicious! Tender, moist, and well seasoned. So tender it broke apart while taking it out of the Slow Cooker. I’m serving it on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Hamburger Bun and topped with some Jack Daniels Honey Smokehouse BBQ Sauce.I’ll use the leftovers for Sandwiches the next few days.







To go with our Sandwiches I baked some of my favorite Fries – Alexia Organic Yukon Select Fries.Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Peppercorn Medley. Baked them at 425 degrees for 16 minutes. They bake up beautifully and seasoned just right, excellent Fry! Plus they are only 120 calories and 15 net carbs. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.
