With the weather finally cooling down here in San Diego, we’re craving more comfort food. Slow cooker dishes are perfect for this. I figured that I’d grab a pork shoulder and toss it in with Southern BBQ Campbell’s Slow Cooker sauce for my last post in this game day series.
I lined the bottom with sliced onions (since my family seemed to like that in the blue cheese slider recipe), put the pork on top and then poured the sauce over everything.
How to Make BBQ Pork Loaded Fries

I started a bit late so placed the slow cooker on high for about 5 hours. In the meantime, my daughter and I prepared cornbread and a salad which proved to be a delicious combo. We stopped here and ate dinner when the pork was finished.

My husband and his friend had me step it up a bit since we had the necessary ingredients in the house to replicate a recipe for BBQ pork loaded fries that I’d seen on the Campbell’s Kitchen website. They were watching Monday night football.
I figured since the pork was already made, an extra few steps wouldn’t hurt anything. I baked a pack of steak fries per package instructions (about 25 minutes). I might opt for skinnier fries but that’s a matter of personal preference. Just make sure they’re baked until a little crispy.
Try as best you can to toss the cheese in between the french fries so that they are generously coated. Next, layer the slow-cooked pork on top. Bake for 10 minutes or so until the cheese is melted. Top with green onions and tomato before serving. This football appetizer delicious and could be a meal in itself.
