Barbecue Pork

Mashed Potatoes

Roasted Corn Off The Cob

Cheddar Cheese

Method

Barbecue Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the meat is evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Slow Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add the barbecue sauce on top. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until the pork is tender.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, mixing it with the barbecue sauce.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 4

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until creamy and smooth.

Roasted Corn Off The Cob

  1. 6

    Prepare the Corn

    Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Cut the kernels off the cob and place them in a bowl.

  2. 7

    Roast the Corn

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the corn kernels. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly charred.

Cheddar Cheese

  1. 8

    Prepare the Cheese

    Grate the cheddar cheese if not pre-grated. Set aside for serving.
