Missing bread??? Not anymore... Many who try to keep things low carb, end up missing and craving things? It's important to come up with healthy alternatives. Chaffles are a delicious alternative to bread. Pulled pork is an American barbecue dish, more specifically a down south dish, based on shredded barbecued pork shoulder. It is typically slow-smoked over wood; indoor variations use a slow cooker. The meat is then shredded manually and mixed with a sauce. It may be served on bread or eaten on its own. This is one of Jerry's all time favorite dishes, so it was mandatory we find a healthy version of pulled pork that he could enjoy. This picture is of BBQ Pulled Short Rib but the idea is the same, you can make this recipe with chicken, beef, pork, etc. So use these chaffles as our go to for healthier sandwiches. For this version: spread sweet BBQ pulled meat on your chaffle and top it off with some yummy crunchy creamy cole slaw! You will no longer feel deprived and your craving will be healthfully satisfied! This slow cooker pulled meat recipe is extremely easy to make, but yields fall-apart tender, flavorful bbq pulled meat. You can make this slow cooker pulled meat recipe fully ahead, it will keep in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, or the freezer for 3 months before reheating, or cooking in the slow cooker for up to SIXTEEN HOURS before serving, as long as you keep it on low heat... It’s perfect for a stress-free dinner that can be made ahead of time and just assembled day of.
