For some reason, pork seems to be on sale a lot lately. There are only so many pork chops one can put in front of their family before you are faced with a mutiny. I'm always looking for ways to use a bargain meat purchase, save money, and make the family happy, too. This is a favorite method and the family will actually look forward the leftovers . . . if there are any!
Easy Pulled Pork Sandwiches
About 2-3 pounds of lean pork
1 small can of diced chilies
1 large onion, chopped
8 cloves of fresh garlic, smashed and chopped
1 16 ounce bottle of favorite barbecue sauce
1/2 cup red wine
1-2 teaspoons chili flakes
Mix all the ingredients in a crock pot. No need to cube or cut the pork. Set on 'high' for six hours and forget about it. About 20 minutes before serving, shred the pork and let it simmer with the top off the crock pot so the sauce can simmer a bit.
On toasted hamburger buns, place a slice of your favorite cheese (I like Provolene) and top with a generous amount of the pulled pork, top with the rest of the bun and serve. You can serve it with a salad on the side but I doubt anyone will notice it!

Sweet and Spicy Pork
I like to fuss over dinner preparations. I also like to not fuss over dinner preparations. This recipe appeals to me because it tastes like I spent a lot of time on it . . . but I didn't have to!
Sweet and Spicy Pork
Approximately two pounds of cubed pork
1 chopped onion
2 peeled cloves of garlic, finely minced
1 can (usually 15 ounces) either crushed or chunk pineapple with the juice
1 small bottle (8-12 ounces) of your favorite chili sauce
2 quarter-inch slices of peeled, chopped fresh ginger (can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground ginger)
Sprinkle the pork cubes with some salt and pepper and place in a skillet. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix in well. Cover, bring to a boil, and then turn down to simmer for approximately an hour and a half or until the meat is tender.
This goes well over freshly cooked, hot rice.
Ideas . . .
Sprinkle each serving with a bit of chopped, green onion.
Toss on a teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds over each serving.
Mix in a couple tablespoons of chopped cilantro just before dishing up.
