Pot Roast for Crock-Pot is submitted by Pat Ariotta in Sharing Our Finest Cookbook put out by the Apopka Citizen Police Alumni Association. We thank that fine organization for all they do.
Every time the subject of pulled pork is brought up, I think of this recipe from Margaret Biddle, one of our readers.
She had worked the midnight shift the night before a family gathering and knew she had no time to prepare her pulled pork before she had to leave for the celebration. It is very simple. Just put the Boston butt in the crockpot overnight and finish it up the next morning. It is sooo yummy!
From Paths of Sunshine Cookbook, try their Lemon Buttered Carrots. It is simple and very tasty.
From Southern Living All-time Favorites, we picked out their Best Barbecue Coleslaw.
Memorial Day is coming up soon and is a favorite time to cook out on the grill or smoke those pork butts for pulled pork, and don’t forget pulled chicken. These favorite meats are simply begging for coleslaw to go on the bun.
