We visited the in-laws for Father's Day this year and my mother-in-law treated everyone to BBQ ribs and a host of other sides and deserts.  Aside from being delicious, we also got to bring home leftovers.  Score!  Nothing better than having a bunch of home cooked food that I didn't have to cook!

Last night was time to eat the leftovers, and rather than just reheat them, I created what I am now calling "Lazy Pulled Pork."  The meat from the ribs was already falling off the bone, so I just finished pulling it off the bone and created this super easy, quick dish.

I've yet to decide if this photo is delicious looking or just slightly gross.

Lazy Pulled Pork

Ingredients:
Left over rib meat.  I used the equivalent of one rack of ribs.  Meat pulled off the bone.
1/2 red onion, chopped into thin strips.
Your favorite BBQ Sauce, preferably one made with Sugar and not High Fructose Corn Syrup.  (I used Bull's-Eye Memphis Style)  I have found that BBQ sauce made with real sugar tastes better and caramelizes better too!
1 Tbsp Oil (your choice)
Hamburger buns, pickles and anything else you would like to top it with.

Directions:
Heat 1 Tbsp Oil over medium heat in a large pan.  Add red onions and cook until nice and soft.  Add rib meat and heat through.  Add BBQ Sauce, enough to make everything nice and covered and saucy, I used around 1/2 cup, but it is totally up to you.  Simmer for about 10 minutes, until everything is nice and hot and bubbly.  Toast buns, and serve topped with pickles. Enjoy!

the pic doesn't look gross at all, it looks SO YUM! I love your use of the leftovers - I make pulled pork by putting dry rub on a pork roast and cooking all day in oven on low, then pulling it apart and adding a little sauce - but I found a wonderful recipe at Prairie woman's website that uses Dr.Pepper on the roast to make pulled pork that isn't really BBQ at all, but still really yummy! (she uses waaay too much peppers in adobo sauce though and even though I quartered what she used it was still too spicey, so next time I'm only using like ONE minced pepper!)
