Crockpot Pulled Teriyaki Pork Sandwiches

Crockpot Pulled Teriyaki Pork Sandwiches

With the weather heating up, a good crockpot meal is in order.  While we certainly love our crockpot, I was looking for a sandwich recipe that did not involve BBQ, and I thought this tangy teriyaki pulled pork sandwich sounded interesting to try. 

We loved the flavor and it was so easy to make!  I can imagine some grilled or fried pineapple on the sandwich too.  Yum!

Crockpot Pulled Teriyaki Pork Sandwiches – Adapted from Jamie Cook’s It Up

Ingredients

• Pork roast or loin, ~2 lbs
• Low-Sodium Montreal Steak Seasoning (McCormick)
• 1/4 C chicken broth
• 1 recipe teriyaki sauce
• Whole wheat buns
• Pineapple {optional}

Directions

Place the pork roast/loin into the base of your crockpot and pour 1/4 C chicken broth over the roast.  Sprinkle the roast with Montreal Steak seasoning; roughly 1-2 tsp.  Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, until pork reaches 170 degrees. 

When the pork is ready, prepare the teriyaki sauce, by mixing together the water, cornstarch, soy sauce, ginger, honey and garlic.  Bring to a simmer on the stovetop until thick.  Set aside. 

Shred the pork with two forks, and pour the teriyaki sauce over the top. 

Serve on a whole wheat bun.  If desired, grill or fry up a pineapple ring and place on the sandwich. 

Enjoy!

I find myself looking for lighter dinners to enjoy during the summer months when hot dishes and other heavy meals don’t go over as well. 

These chicken wraps are a new favorite. 

I’ve tried them on bread in a  grilled cheese of sorts, but somehow the wrap made the dinner just that much better for a summer. 

Monterrey Chicken Wraps

Ingredients

• 4 whole wheat tortillas
• 6-8 chicken tenders
• 1/2 tsp. Smokehouse Maple Seasoning
• 4 strips of cooked bacon
• BBQ sauce (traditional or cherry)
• 1 medium tomato, roasted
• 4 slices of extra sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

Begin by grilling or pan-searing the chicken tenders in olive oil.  If you have Smokehouse Maple seasoning, go ahead and season your chicken tenders with it; if not, just season it well with salt and pepper. 

When the chicken tenders have reached 180 degrees, place each in the center of a whole wheat tortilla.  Top with 1 strip of cooked bacon, a slice of extra sharp cheddar cheese, roasted tomato slices and top with BBQ sauce.  {note: you might want to melt the cheese on the tortilla first, if desired}

Roll up the tortilla and if needed, use a toothpick to hold the tortilla together if needed.  Slice in half to serve. 

Serve warm.  

Enjoy!
