Buy whatever pork roast is on sale. A pork picnic works well also if you can fit it in the pot. Cook this on water with salt, pepper, and bay leaves. On night one enjoy roast with your favorite sides but DON'T throw away the broth or leftovers. Here's some ideas besides sandwiches
With the leftover broth and just a little of the meat the second night make a stew. The broth is already wonderfully seasoned. I'll list my favorite stew at the bottom.
On day three pull out the crock pot. This time you're making BBQ. The cheap way that is. This doesn't even need a recipe, it's that easy! Just dice the meat and dice an onion. Place the onion on the bottom, top with meat and add a bottle of BBQ sauce and a little water to cover. Then season with pepper. Towards the end when the meat falls apart I throw it in a pot and cook any remaining water out of it and add hot sauce. Then serve.
Great leftover pork Recipes:
Potato Rice Soup (my granny's recipe)
You will need:
Rice 1 cup
reserved pork stock
potatoes 2 or 3
and canned crushed or diced tomatoes and tomato sauce.
Add a little of the left over meat to the broth (diced). Dice some potatoes (as many as you like but save room also. Cook this until the potatoes are almost done. Then add one cup of uncooked rice. Let this cook until rice is half done and add your tomatoes. Make sure to stay near once you add the tomatoes because this is when it tries to start sticking to the bottom of the pot. Make sure to stir it also because the rice goes to the bottom and that's what sticks and then burns. Once the rice begins to butterfly then it's done. (get leftover but doesn't freeze well)
Leftover Pork Casserole
