Quick and Easy Cuban Pork Sliders Made with Smithfield Pork #RealFlavorRealFast

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Smithfield® Marinated Fresh Pork. The opinions and text are all mine. #RealFlavorRealFast

I can hardly believe that it is almost time for school to begin! I am not quite sure where the summer has gone, but alas, it is once again time to get back into a routine of prepping, planning and preparing easy weeknight dinners.

Since both of my boys will be in school full-time this year and they are involved in many extracurricular activities, it is especially important to me that I have easy and delicious meals on the table that require little effort but that provide real flavor, real fast. Easy and delicious meals will ensure that we have just a few more minutes in our day to enjoy as a family all while going about the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

One of my favorite items to prepare for quick and delicious dinners are Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork products purchased right in the fresh meat section at my local Safeway store. Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork allows me to get dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less any night of the week. These products are also super versatile as they can be grilled, roasted, sautéed or slow cooked. In addition, they are already marinated which means that they are packed full of scrumptious flavor.

My Safeway store had a wide variety of Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork products, so it was hard for me to decide on just one! When I saw the Smithfield Roasted Garlic and Herb Pork Loin Filet, I knew right away that it was the one! This product is dry rubbed and marinated with garlic, onion powder, spices and natural smoke. Smithfield delivers real flavor, real fast right to my table any night of the week.

Sliders and sandwiches are always a fun and easy dinner and one that my boys will devour any day of the week. With the Smithfield Roasted Garlic and Herb Pork Loin Filet, I was able to create a delicious Cuban pork slider that reminded us of our vacation last summer in South Florida.

The Cuban Pork Slider created with Smithfield Roasted Garlic and Herb Pork Loin Filet was definitely a winner at my house! I first cooked the Smithfield pork in the slow cooker, which made it so tender and delicious! Using the slow cooker with the already marinated Smithfield pork saves you even more time in the kitchen, and you have a delicious meal on the table in just minutes!

Smithfield Roasted Garlic and Herb Pork Loin Filet Cuban Pork Sliders

Ingredients:

Smithfield Roasted Garlic and Herb Pork Loin Filet

12 slider buns

12 small pieces of deli ham

12 small pieces of Swiss cheese

12 pickles

Mustard

Directions:

Place the Smithfield Pork Loin Filet in a slow cooker for 4-6 hours on low. You will want to ensure that the meat is cooked through to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Slow cooking the Smithfield Roasted Garlic and Herb Pork Loin Filet allows the flavors to really distribute throughout the meat and it becomes so tender and juicy!

Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board while you set out the other items for the sliders. Slice the pork into medium sized medallions to place on the sliders.

Place a couple of pork medallions onto a slider bun and assemble the rest of the slider with ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard. Voila! You have the perfect Cuban Pork Sliders! This quick and easy dish is sure to be one of your new family favorites and one that you will reach for again and again!

When you use Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork products, there is no need for marinades or rubs, as the meat is already pre-seasoned. This ensures that you receive real flavor, real fast and that you have a meal on the table the entire family will love!

Are you looking for a yummy chicken dish that tastes just like your favorite takeout? Easy Sesame Chicken is absolutely delicious! Not only will you save money by making your own takeout, but this dish is very easy to prepare as well! My guys devoured this dish and there were no leftovers!

(recipe adapted from Budget Bytes)

INGREDIENTS: 

Chicken:

1 large egg

2 Tbsp cornstarch

Salt & pepper to taste

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs

2 Tbsp veg. oil for frying the chicken

 

Sauce:

4 Tbsp soy sauce

2 Tbsp water

1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil 

3 Tbsp brown sugar

3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar 

2 inch fresh ginger, grated

2-3 cloves minced garlic

2 Tbsp sesame seeds 

1 Tbsp cornstarch

 

For Serving:

Chopped green onions for garnish

Hot jasmine rice to serve the chicken on top of

Extra sesame seeds

 

DIRECTIONS:

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, 2 Tbsp cornstarch, salt and pepper. Cut chicken thighs into 1 inch pieces. Toss the chicken in the egg and cornstarch mixture.

Heat a large skillet or wok with 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, add the chicken and all of the egg mixture. Cook the chicken, stirring only occasionally, until it is golden brown and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes).

While chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl stir together the soy sauce, water, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, minced garlic, cornstarch, and sesame seeds. 

After chicken is cooked through and golden brown, pour the sauce over top. Toss the chicken to coat in the sauce. The sauce should begin to thicken as soon as it hits the hot skillet. Once the chicken is coated and the sauce thickened, turn off the heat.

Serve over hot jasmine rice and sprinkle with chopped green onions and additional sesame seeds if you prefer.

degrees.

salt and pepper as you turn them to sear.

3. Place the pork chops in the oven and let them cook for around 10 minutes.

4. While the pork chops are cooking you can prepare your glaze. Add your prepared balsamic mixture, brown sugar, honey, oregano, minced garlic, pinch of pepper (you could even use pepper flakes if you like really spicy) and mediterranean spiced sea salt to a bowl and mix well. The mixture should be nice and thick.

used when it is prepared. Also, since I am gluten free, I cannot eat many of the Chinese dishes that are available in the traditional Chinese restaurants these days. Needless to say, eating out a Chinese restaurant for me can be quite challenging! When I came across this recipe for Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry I was so excited! I have made some modifications to my liking, but it is so delicious! We just love this! I served it over cauliflower rice for myself and Jasmine rice for the boys.

    ll pieces are coated. Set aside. Let marinate for an hour. I would even go longer if you have the time to do so to give the meat extra flavor.

  4. While the meat is marinating, clean and trim the broccoli and slice the mushrooms so that they are ready to go.
  5. Heat a wok (or large skillet) over high heat. Add the oil to the pan.
  6. Once the pan is hot, add the broccoli, coating it in the oil and stir frying for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Remove the beef from the marinade and add to the hot pan. Stir fry 2-3 minutes.
  8. Pour the sauce in the pan and add the mushrooms.
  9. Continue stir frying the mixture over high heat until the meat is cooked through and the sauce has reduced and thickened.
  10. Serve the mixture over rice or cauliflower rice and enjoy! This is absolutely so delicious and it is sure to be a new favorite on your menu rotation!

Slow Cooker Meatloaf

(All posts may contain affiliate links or sponsored content. Please see my disclosure policy)

Today’s recipe is for Slow Cooker Meat Loaf. Yep, you read that right Meat Loaf! Now I know that you may be skeptical of cooking meat Loaf in a Slow Cooker. I know that I was at first. But let me tell you, it is the Best Meat Loaf that I have ever had and is so moist! My guys must think so too because they devoured the entire thing! I really think that you will love it and that it will be a staple in your menu rotation!

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2-2 lbs. Ground Turkey (You could use ground beef as well, but I like how moist the Ground Turkey is.)

2/3 Cup Bread Crumbs (I used Gluten Free because of My Food Allergy issues- my boys did not even know the difference)

2 Eggs

1 Tsp Salt

1 Tsp Ground Onion

1 Tsp Garlic Powder

1/2 Tsp Pepper

1 Lb. Tri-Color Baby Potatoes Cut Into Quarters

1 Lb. Baby Carrots Cut into Halves

DIRECTIONS:

Take the first 7 Ingredients and gently mix together. Form into a loaf and place in the middle of the slow cooker. Take the Quartered Potatoes and Baby Carrots and place around the outside edge of the meatloaf. Cook on low for around 5-6 hours.

About 30 minutes before taking off heat, mix together the glaze for the top of the meatloaf. Take 1/4 Cup Ketchup, 3 Tbsp. Brown Sugar, and a Dash of Mustard. Mix together and place all over the top of the meatloaf. Cook for an additional 30 minutes just until the glaze is nice and set.

How to Make the Perfect Hard-boiled Eggs

 (All posts may contain affiliate links or sponsored content. Please see my disclosure policy)

I don’t know about you, but making Hard-boiled eggs can be quite challenging! I have tried so many differ

online pharmacy order super cialis online with best prices today in the USA

ent methods and each time they never cook the right way. The skin never comes off and it seems like I lose half of the egg.

I was recently watching the show on the Food Network called The Kitchen and they mentioned that you can cook

online pharmacy order wegovy online with best prices today in the USA

your eggs in the oven and they come out the perfect Hard-boiled egg. I was so intrigued with this method It sounds odd….cook your eggs and they will become hard-boiled? It sounded weird, but I gave it a shot. Guess what? It works and the eggs come out perfectly!

DIRECTIONS:

Take a 12-count muffin tin and place each egg inside the muffin slot.

Bake the eggs in a 325 degree oven for 30 minutes.

As soon as the eggs come out of the oven place them in an ice cold water bath to “shock” them. Keep them in the water bath for about 5 minutes.

The shells will peel right off and you will have delicious hard-boiled eggs with perfectly cooked yellow yolks!

Enjoy!
