Crock Pot Pork Sandwiches
"This is a little different than the usual barbecue sauce. It has a nice Cajun flavor. The tomatoes make an excellent sauce for the tender shredded pork. This recipe is from Easy Meals by Betty Crocker."

I love the spiciness of the pork cooked with cajun seasoning. Excellent sandwich. Will make again soon. -
My DH raved about this one! I liked it too and it was so easy to prepare. This has such a nice flavor and is different from the usual BBQ pork. I liked that it isn't drowning in sauce. I reduced the amounts to prepare half of the recipe and used a Cajun seasoning recipe posted on zaar. I was a little worried about how hot this might turn out so I didn't add the full amount of cayenne. The meat has such a nice flavor, but wasn't hot at all. Next time I will add all of the pepper. Did I mention I loved this because it was easy? This recipe goes into my keeper file. Thank you Paula!!!! -
Amazing! Well worth the long cooking time; the house smelled so good and I could not wait to dig into this! Made such a lovely change from BBQ pork; really loved the cajun spices in this recipe too! -
It doesn't get any easier than this--great for a hectic day, since it only takes a couple of minutes to toss everything in the crockpot. I did add additional seasoning, then tossed more with the meat after it was shredded, as I thought it was a bit short on flavor. I served very simply on French bread, topped with pepper jack cheese, and we all really enjoyed the sandwiches. Thanks for posting the recipe! -
Very good sandwiches! I used Jamaician seasoning instead of the seaoning called for and my tomatoes had jalapenos mixed in. We served these on rolls topped with some more spicy salsa. Thanks for sharing!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
