BBQ Pork Sandwiches (Slow Cooker)

4 lbs. boneless pork loin roast, fat trimmed
1 can (14 1/2 oz) beef broth
1/3 c. Worcestershire sauce
1/3 c. cayenne pepper hot sauce

Sauce
1/2 c. ketchup
1/2 c. molasses
1/4 c. yellow mustard
1/4 c. Worcestershire sauce
2 T. cayenne pepper hot sauce

Place roast in bottom of slow cooker. Combine broth, 1/3c. worcestershire sauce, and 1/3 c. hot sauce. Pour over roast. Cover and cook on high for 5 hours (or low for 10 hours) or until roast is tender.

Combine ingredients for sauce in a large bowl; refridgerate until ready to use.

When roast has finished cooking. Transfer to a cutting board and coarsly chop/shred. Add as much sauce as desired. Save extra sauce for serving. Spoon onto rolls of choice.

This recipe is from a cookbook I have called Slow Cooker: Magic in Minutes.

*This recipe is so easy. I've made it MANY times. It makes a lot so we always have leftovers and I usually freeze a good portion of it too. I only mix in some of the sauce because it can be overwhelming and spicy. I've played with the amount of hot sauce that goes into the sauce, but I always seem to make it too spicy for my husband. When you first make it I recommend adding hot sauce gradually until it is to your desired taste.

Sorry no picture for this one yet. I'll try to get one posted when I eat some for leftovers this week!

Meatloaf

1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. ketchup
1-1 1/4 lb ground beef
3/4 c. milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 small onion
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
3/4 c. saltine cracker crumbs

Heat over to 350 degrees. Press the brown sugar into a 5x9in. glass baking dish. Spread ketchup over the top of the brown sugar. Mix all other ingredients together. Form into a loaf and place on top of ketchup. Bake 1 hour or until juices run clear (thermometer reads 160 degrees).

I love meatloaf and found this recipe online. I've become a huge fan of the website allrecipes.com I love how you can search by ingredient. That's how I found the Mexican Casserole recipe that I posted on this blog. I had some ingredients I wanted to use and search them. I also love how the recipes are rated and you can read the reviews and comments. Great site!

My family loved this meatloaf. Meatloaf isn't really that healthy and when you have all that brown sugar it's even less healthy, but it was so good it was worth it!

*Sorry I don't have a picture for this one. My family gobbled it (and the leftovers) up before I could take one.
