Slow Cooker Hawaiian BBQ Sandwiches

Slow Cooker Hawaiian BBQ Sandwiches 

4 to 5 pounds beef chuck roast or pork roast
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, sliced
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce, divided

In large skillet, add oil.  Add roast to skillet, brown all sides over medium high heat.


Spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray for easy clean up.  Place the roast in the slow cooker.  Arrange onion and pineapple over roast.


Pour 1 cup of barbecue sauce over top.  Cover with a lid.  Cook on low 6 to 8 hours.


Remove roast to a cutting board or plate.  Using 2 forks, shredded the roast.


Place shredded meat in a large bowl.  Using a slotted spoon, remove onions and pineapple from slow cooker, place it in the bowl with the meat.  Add 1 cup of liquid from the slow cooker.  Add 1/2 cup barbecue sauce.  Mix well.


Serve on buns.  Makes 6 to 8 servings.



I love to use my slow cooker all year long.  There is nothing like coming home to the delicious aroma of a homemade meal, ready and waiting for you.

Barbecue sandwiches are one of my favorite meals.  But finding a good one can be difficult.  They either have too much barbecue sauce mixed in with the meat, or it has a dollop of sauce spread on top of dried out meat.  With this recipe, the meat is tender and juicy, and each bite has the perfect amount of barbecue sauce.

On Tuesday, we had a fundraiser at Passion Radio. I made the Hawaiian BBQ sandwiches, and they were a big hit!

Our good friend Bill Scott came in to help with the fundraiser.  Bill is not only an incredible fundraiser, he is also an author.  His new book "The Day Satan Called" is due out in October.  This book is generating a lot of buzz in publishing circles.  Nightline is interested in interviewing Bill, and there may soon be a movie deal.  You can download a free chapter of the book at his Facebook page.

Recipe: Extra Cheesy Hash Browns

Extra Cheesy  Hash Browns

1 (32 ounce) package frozen hash brown potatoes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cheddar cheese soup
1 (2.8 ounce) can French fried onion rings

Coat inside of slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.  Add all ingredients. Mix well.  Cover. Cook on low 4 to 6 hours or high 2 to 3 hours.  Makes 8 servings.

I made this easy recipe during one of my cooking demos at the Iowa State Fair.  It is not only a tasty side dish for lunch or dinner but by adding some chopped, cooked bacon, it would also be delicious for breakfast.  It would be kind of like Cracker Barrel's Hash Brown Casserole.   Extra Cheesy Hash Browns and Tortellini Toss were the recipes that got the most comments and questions from the audience during my cooking demos.  People were amazed that you could get so much flavor out of just a few simple ingredients.

Tortellini Toss
