Ingredients:
2 packages little smokies (12-14 ounces each)
1 1/2 cups sweet baby rays bbq sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions:
Add everything to a slow cooker. Stir it all together. Heat it for 2-3 hours on low.
Ingredients:
Box of pasta (I used gluten free spaghetti)
One can pasta sauce (I used prego roasted garlic)
Shredded Parmesan
Pork loin
Italian seasoning
Garlic powder
Salt & pepper
Celery
Onion
Instructions:
Get out a slow cooker. Line the bottom of the slow cooker with celery. Season pork loin with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, & pepper. Set pork loin on top of celery. Rough chop half an onion and toss on top of slow cooker. If available use probe to cook pork to 160F
Once the pork is cooked set a pan to boil your pasta (according to package instructions). Heat pasta sauce ( yeah if would probably be better if you made sauce from scratch but this is an easy meal). Once pasta is done and drained combine with sauce. Slice 1/4” pieces of pork. Plate spaghetti and pork. Sprinkle Parmesan over food. (If you are doing dairy free skip the cheese).
