Whether you're rooting for the Chiefs or the Buccaneers on Sunday, these two pulled pork slider recipes can be adapted to the tastes of either fan base.
"Heirloom Kitchen" cookbook author joined "GMA" on Saturday to share her Kansas City BBQ style pork sandwiches and a Cuban style pork sandwich to celebrate Super Bowl LV.
Ingredients
3 pounds (1.4 kg) pork butt, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 large white onion
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
Directions
Combine the pork with the onion, salt, pepper and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, partially covered, for 3 hours.
When the pork is done, (it will be fork tender) remove it from the water and shred it with two forks.
Divide the pulled pork in half into two separate bowls. Set aside.
