This Memorial Day we're having some good ol' BBQ the EASY way.
Inspired by my bestie who doesn't like to spend too much time in the kitchen...what follows is a DELISH dinner that is easy, GF and super yum!
On the Menu
Pulled Pork
Potato Cakes
American Flag Pudding
This pulled pork recipe is handed down (or I guess over since we're the same age) from a friend of mine from work ...you might recognize her from TV :)
Hub's Favorite Pulled Pork
12 oz of A&W Root Beer (NOT DIET) per 2lbs of pork
1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce (we use Pat's Ho-Made)
Pork Roast
Put root beer and pork in crock pot for 7hrs
Drain, shred, add bottle of BBQ Sauce
Voila...awesomeness
Crispy Potato Cakes
1/2 cup chopped onions (I used pre-chopped from the produce section)
3 Tbsp bacon bits (I used turkey bits)
1 oz shredded cheese
2 cups mashed potatoes (chilled)
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
Set oven to 425
Saute onions with bacon bits until carmelized, place in freezer for a few minutes to cool (this helps patties form)
In a mixing bowl add all ingredients except bread crumbs and mix
Separate into 6 equal patties
Coat both sides in breadcrumbs and bake for 12 minutes on each side
American Flag Fruit Pudding
2 pkgs of Your favorite Jell-o pudding flavor (white) follow directions on box
1 cup blueberries
3 cups chopped strawberries
this one is pretty self explanatory
we used some white icing for the stars :)
