Tailgating season is here and what better tailgate fare than something that is easy to prepare so you can relax and enjoy the tailgate and game! I recommend The Bacon Broccoli Salad found in Tampa Treasures and the Pulled Party Pork found in The Life of the Party.
Pulled Party Pork
Life of the Party, page 93
1 (3-lb) pork tenderloin or Boston butt roast
1 cup water
1 (18 oz) bottle prepared BBQ sauce

Combine the pork and water in a slow cooker. Cook on high for 7 hours. Drain, reserving 1 cup liquid. Shred the roast in the slow cooker with a fork. Add the remaining ingredients. Add the reserved cooking liquid if necessary. Cook on low for 1 hour. Serve on rolls for sandwiches if desired.
