Home Cooking with Jess – Pulled Pork

Pulled pork is one of those dishes that I hesitate to make because I always have left overs for days.  I make half the amount and still end up having left overs.  It’s a one and done meal at my house. Despite that fact, I made some for the Steelers game last week.  Now I have to get it all out of my house before tomorrow! 

I took to Pinterest to see if I could find some left over pulled pork recipes and there are actually quite a few.  If you know me, you know I love to top dishes with a fried egg.  So this one peaked my interest.  For pulled pork, I put half a pork loin in a crock pot with some bbq sauce. I don’t make it overly sweet or saturate it in bbq, but leave the bottle out for those who like lots.  I’m not sure heavy bbq sauce covered pork would work well for this, but mine was tasty.  You can sub potatoes for the cauliflower.

  2. Toss cauliflower in oil and roast on a parchment paper lined baking sheet for 10 minutes.
