Good news! Not only is Ree Drummond's recipe fantastic - the only change I'll make next time is an addition of red pepper flakes - but, I used this pork roast as the foundation for FIVE meals. Reducing the cost per serving to $1.14 and keeping all 5 meals under $2.50 per serving. Also, using the the left over roast in four of the meals was a real time saver.
Here's what I prepared:
Spicy Pulled Pork w/ corn tortillas, pico de gallo, sour cream, avocado slices and pinto beans
Dinner, aka lunch, of the above left overs
Pulled Pork BBQ sandwiches w/ sliced onions, bread & butter pickles, macaroni salad
Pulled Pork enchiladas, Mexican rice and charro beans
Pulled Pork smothered in gravy over mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli and green salad
What's your Waste Not Want Not Wednesday tip?
My mind is totally blank i do not have the first tip LOL! However, I just had to tell you that menu sounded absolutely delicious and I am now considering sending my husband to town to pick up a pork roast. What a fabulous way to stretch it! (Although $23 for a 6 lb would have probably deterred me!)
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds great to me, I do that too, buy a large roast and then split it up for a few mieals, hugs and thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI will confess that I stood at the meat counter for a considerable about of time debating the purchase of a $23 chunk of meat. It was a difficult purchase, but after all was said and done, I was able to stretch it out making it much more affordable than I originally anticipated.
