It's Not Going to Work!

My daughter sent me recipe for  slow cooker pork loin. Certainly that should read pork butt or pork shoulder. 'It's not going to work,' my instinct told me. Slow cooked pork loin would be dry. I've made it twice now. It tastes great and is not dry at all. Here's the recipe from Skinnytaste.com  a website dedicated to low fat recipes.The only thing I did different from the recipe was use apple cider vinegar, because I don't stock red wine vinegar. Also, I did not have liquid smoke so I threw in a tablespoon of BBQ sauce. I used the pork to create an open face sandwich. I topped it with finely grated Tillamook sharp cheddar, BBQ sauce, slaw and pickled red onion. Will this recipe make me skinny? Some how I doubt it.

Looks delish - another good sandwich to add to the growing list of ones I want to try.

Zoomie- This sandwich really surprised me. I wasn't sure it would be good. They have a similar recipe for chicken breast. Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wrap.http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/04/crock-pot-buffalo-chicken-lettuce-wraps.html#more

That sure looks tasty. I have never made pickled onions but want too.

Chilebrown- Pickled red onions are easy money. I started with Rick Bayless method that just blanches them and adds lime juice and salt.

My daughter made this recipe with the addition of some salt.
