Happy Monday! Did you all have a good weekend? We had a GREAT fun-filled and busy weekend. We had Soren’s baptism yesterday, so I had some of my family in town. And we had a lot of fun showing them our new house, taking them to our favorite restaurants, and just spending some quality time together.
My mom came to town a few days early and one of those days I spent an afternoon cranking out new recipes while she hung out with the boys. It’s always so nice to have big cooking days where I cook a bunch of things and photograph them for the blog all at once. It’s efficient and it means I will have lots of leftovers for the following days!
Pressure Cooker Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sandwiches
These Pressure Cooker Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sandwiches are one of the recipes that I made and holy smokes was it delicious! The ingredients are pretty simple but there is one key ingredient that I found gave it amazing flavor – liquid smoke. It gave it that smoky flavor that you would expect it to have if it had spent all day in a smoker.
Guess what? You don’t need a smoker for this recipe. You just need a pressure cooker! Or a slow cooker. Either will work!
The other ingredients that make this pork delicious are ketchup, honey, soy sauce, garlic and onion. All super simple but all super delicious together!
These would be great for a big group (just adjust the amount of meat accordingly) because this recipe is so easy to throw together. I topped ours with some fresh red cabbage and pineapple slices. I think adding a coleslaw dressing to the cabbage would be delicious, too!
