I woke up on Sunday and was craving some pulled pork. Our smoker was in the patio and it sucks to drag it outside so I was lazy and decided to just throw it in the crock pot. I even had every ingredient to make this too. It calls for only 3 things. Canned pineapple, a red onion, and a cup of barbeque sauce. Canned pineapple is one of those pantry staples I like to keep on hand all the time a long with barbeque sauce.
So, I’ve been seeing recipes everywhere that call for King’s Hawaiian Rolls. Ever tried them before? I found them in my bakery and they were about 3.79 for 12 of these soft buttery rolls. The buns are rather small and are made for slider type sandwiches.
There’s lots you can make with leftover pulled pork. You can put it on top of pizza, make more sandwiches, stuff it inside some empenadas. I put it on top of nachos. But you had nachos the other day you’re wondering? Yep, I had nachos twice this week. So what! At least there’s healthy pineapple and avocado on top it! 🙂
