Smoked Pork Sandwiches: Double the Batch, Double the Dinner Angels

Let's be honest, mama. Weeknight dinners can be a grind. But what if I told you that one batch of cooking could feed your family and earn you a little extra – without adding more stress to your plate? Chef Nick just dropped a fantastic video on smoking pork, and we’re taking his recipe and running with it – doubling the recipe and turning it into a Dinner Angel opportunity.

Chef Nick, a true BBQ enthusiast, shares his love for the Big Chief smoker, a surprisingly affordable and effective machine that’s been a staple in his kitchen for over a decade. He started with this smoker making bacon and smoked trout, and now he’s sharing his knowledge with us. He even admits to a little “side hustle” using it – something we can totally get behind!

This isn't just about smoking meat; it's about reclaiming your time and recognizing the value of your skills. Imagine this: another mom across town, exhausted after a long day, needing a delicious, home-cooked meal. You’re already cooking dinner for your own family – why not cook a little extra and share the love (and the profit)? With a doubled recipe, you’re not just feeding your family; you're creating a Dinner Angel opportunity.

The Double-Batch Smoked Pork Sandwich Recipe

Here’s the breakdown of Chef Nick’s recipe, scaled up for a double batch – easily enough to feed eight people and have leftovers (or sell!).

The Pork

• 2 x 5 lb Pork Butts (bone-in preferable)
• 60g Salt (roughly 4 TBSP)
• 60g Brown Sugar (roughly 4 TBSP)
• 20g Black Pepper (roughly 4 TSP)

Tip: A dry rub is your best friend here. Generously coat the pork butts and let them sit in the fridge overnight for maximum flavor.

The Slaw

• 1kg Cabbage Shred
• 300g Carrot Shred
• 200g Red Onion Shred
• 2 cloves Garlic, grated
• 60g Salt
• 30g Sugar

Dressing:

• 6 TBSP Mayonnaise
• 2 TBSP Grainy Mustard
• 4 TBSP Sugar
• 4-8 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar (to taste)

Chef Nick's Tip: Spin dry the slaw in a salad spinner after curing – it really makes a difference!

The Potato Buns (Optional, but Highly Recommended!)

Chef Nick’s video also features a recipe for amazing potato buns. It's a bit of extra work, but honestly, they elevate the sandwich to a whole new level. Check out his Chicken Salad video for the full bun recipe: https://youtu.be/3_HPUoT3y1g

The Dinner Angel Business Model

Here's how you can turn this delicious smoked pork sandwich into a money-making opportunity:

• Cook a double batch of pork.
• Prepare the slaw and assemble the sandwiches.
• List your sandwiches on the Sovereign marketplace (more on that below!).
• Price them at $20-$50 per sandwich, depending on your area.
• Use CrownRunner to deliver hot and fresh to another mom across town who needs a break tonight.

Seriously, it's that simple. You're already doing the work. Let's get paid for it!

Extras to Sell: Besides the sandwiches, consider offering extra pulled pork by the pound, smoked bacon, or even your amazing potato buns.
