Here’s a great recipe for a cheap and easy take on an American classic - BBQ Pulled Pork. I use pork tenderloin because it’s so lean. If you keep your eyes open, you’ll probably notice that pork tenderloin goes on sale at almost every grocery store, usually every month. You can almost always find pork tenderloin for “buy one, get one free”. This is the way to go, as you only pay about 3.50 for a really nice cut of meat. Throw in some buns, and baked beans or fries and you have an easy meal for your whole family, right around $5.00. Here’s how you do it:

Ingredients:

• 1 Pork Tenderloin (You could use other cuts as well. Regular pork loin would work just fine).
• Your Favorite BBQ sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• Buns (optional)
• Pickles (optional)
• Salt & Pepper

Directions

1. Rub your pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. Drizzle a little bbq sauce over the pork and rub that in as well.
2. Place pork in your slow cooker and turn on High.
3. Add water to slow cooker
4. Pork can cook all day long. You should cook it at least 4 hours for the best results.
5. Remove pork from slow cooker and discard liquid. You should be able to shred it with a fork - if you can’t, let it cook longer.
6. Place pork in a bowl and drizzle with bbq sauce, mix well until pork is fully coated.
7. Serve on buns, or over texas toast.
8. Top with pickles or coleslaw and additional bbq sauce.

Do you ever have leftover chicken that you have no idea what to do with? We used to have that problem constantly. Now, we always have a perfect solution for lunch and all it takes is chicken, mayo and some spices!

Ingredients

• Chicken, shredded
• Mayonnaise
• Celery salt, to taste
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Curry powder, to taste

Directions

1. Shred the chicken and mix in a bowl with mayo.
2. Add the spices, adding only a little at a time, to ensure proper flavor
3. Mix well.
4. Put on bread to make sandwiches and you’re ready to eat!

We think the curry is a nice addition to the sandwich, especially with the celery salt. You can also try this with tuna for a tuna sandwich.
