Servings

4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 (12 oz) can pork luncheon meat, sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• 1/3 cup apple juice or apple cider
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard)

Instructions

1. Arrange the sliced pork luncheon meat in an even layer in the bottom of a slow cooker.
2. In a bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, apple juice, brown sugar, and mustard until smooth.
3. Pour the sauce evenly over the pork, making sure all slices are coated.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours or HIGH for 1½–2 hours.
5. Once heated through and the sauce is slightly thickened, gently stir to coat the slices.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
7. Serve hot with plenty of sauce.

Serving Suggestions

Serve over steamed rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce. Pair with a crisp green salad, steamed green beans, or buttered corn. Dinner rolls or crusty bread are great for mopping up extra sauce.
