Ideas For Leftover Pork Roast
The leftovers send this pork roast to the top of my recipe list. It’s a one-cook-yields-multiple-meals scenario. I like to get a roast big enough for leftovers. Here are some of my favorite ideas:
- Shred the pork and add a favorite BBQ sauce for pulled pork sandwiches.
- Add shredded pork to stir-fry vegetables and serve over your favorite grain.
- Combine the pork with grape tomatoes and serve over pasta.
- Tacos.
- Empanadas.
- Enchiladas.
- Add it to pizza – like this Street Corn Pizza.
- Make a hash with any leftover potatoes, onion, and pork.

Use pork loin roast to get good slices (tenderloin would also work), but if you’d prefer this recipe to yield shredded pork a boneless pork shoulder or pork butt would work best here.
