Covid Meal Plan - Shredded Pork Week

SHREDDED PORK WEEK - To begin the week, I put a chunk of pork in the slow cooker (8ish hours on high), then we eat on that all week. I use the ATK rub to season it, but you can season how you like. This time I did a 6 pound pork butt (or shoulder). I'll use extras for burritos at lunch, then freeze whatever is left.

Pulled Pork Sandwiches (with or without BBQ sauce and a bun)
- Mashed Potatoes (I almost always do instant)
- Salad (whatever is on-hand)

Nachos
- Cheese (I do half Velveeta and half shredded Colby Jack with milk)
- Shredded pork
- Refried beans
- Green Chile
- Lettuce
- Salsa
- Olives
- Anything else you want

Spaghetti
- Sauce from a jar or homemade (I make my sauce with tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic, onion, green bell, sliced olives and mushrooms - sauteed then sit in the slow cooker all day)
- Frozen meatballs in the slow cooker all day with sauce or Italian sausage cooked in the oven
- Chickpea pasta
- Green beans

Sloppy Joes (RFD version) with ground beef or chicken
- Potato Chips
- Zucchini Fritters

Pork Tacos
- Corn Tortillas
- Mexi-slaw (I start with coleslaw mix then let it soak in some combo of lime juice, vinegar and seasoning. You can also do a corn-type salsa, or anything else you like on tacos.)

Salmon Burgers (Bought frozen from the grocery store)
- Make your favorite toppings - I like sauteed red onions with a little balsalmic vinegar and jack cheese
- Sweet potato buns for a gluten-free option
- Thai coconut curry rice
