These are basically just sloppy joes but with pork, all dressed up in their scary Halloween outfits! Sloppy Joes are my kiddos favorite food, maybe second only to chili. So, I knew that these would be intriguing to them! Everyone in my family also loves pulled pork, so this one is a winner all around. And I love how you can turn the slow cooker on and forget about it! You will need…
● One 2-3 lb pork tenderloin roast
● 1 cup diced onion
● 1 TBS paprika
● 1 tsp salt
● 1 tsp garlic powder
● 1 tsp cumin
● 1 pinch cayenne
● 1/2 tsp pepper
For the sauce:
● 1/2 cup ketchup
● 1 TBS molasses
● 3 TBS brown sugar
● 2 TBS Worcestershire
For garnish:
- Hawaiian slider rolls
- Green olives
- Sliced white cheese
- Oval pickles
- Toothpicks
Season the tenderloin with the paprika, salt, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne, and pepper. Chop the onion and add it all to a slow cooker.
Mix the sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl and pour it over the onion and tenderloin. Cook on high for four hours or until the meat is able to be shredded with a fork.
When the meat is tender, remove it to a plate or cutting board and shred. Turn the dial to “warm” and set aside until ready to serve.
When you’re ready to serve, lay a piece of cheese down on the bottom bun of the slider roll. This prevents the bottom from getting soggy! Put down a pickle so that the “tongue” protrudes a bit! So rude, haha! Layer on some meat mixture and then cut two rectangles of cheese, cutting one end to look like a point. (If you cut the cheese longer, they stay on much better! The top bun hides the rest). Next put the top bun on, and top with an olive and a toothpick to hold it all together! Click below for a handy printable! Bone-appetit!
