Meal prep day
- cook Crock Pot Pulled Pork- get this going first as it takes the longest. You can also cook it in the Instant Pot!
- shred cheese- 2 cups. You can purchase pre-shredded cheese as an optional shortcut.
- cook rice- ¾ cup uncooked rice of your choice should produce 2 cups of cooked rice. Cool and store in a meal prep container.
- wash + shred lettuce- 4 cups total. Dry as much as you can and store in an air tight container.
- assemble zucchini boats- full directions in this post.
- Slice 3 medium-sized zucchinis in half, then scoop out part of the seeds.
- Arrange in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Spoon pulled pork in, sprinkle with 1 cup cheese.
- Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- assemble pulled pork skillet- full directions in this post.
- Slice 2 bell peppers into strips and place on one end of a large meal prep container.
- Slice 4 cups of ½ to ¾ inch sweet potato cubes and place on the other end.
- Place 4 cups of pulled pork over the sweet potatoes and pour 1 ½ cups of cooking liquid over the sweet potatoes.
- Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Once you have prepped the zucchini boats, pulled pork skillet, and ingredients for the burrito bowls, store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Dinner 1- Pulled Pork Zucchini Boats

To cook this dinner, we will simply place our covered baking dish into a 400°F oven and bake for 25 or so minutes. The cheese should be bubbly and zucchini slightly tender.
Sprinkle with fresh tomatoes and green onions, or your favorite toppings.
Dinner 2- Pulled Pork Sweet Potato Skillet

To cook this skillet recipe, simply dump the contents of your meal prep container into a large pan, stir it up, cover with a lid, and cook. Cook for a total of 15-20 minutes (stirring every 5 or so minutes), or until sweet potatoes are tender.
We love serving this with cheese and tortilla chips, but it would also be great wrapped up in a tortilla and served as a wrap.
Dinner 3- Pulled Pork Burrito Bowls
Get the printable Pulled Pork Burrito Bowls recipe card here!
This is a totally loose recipe that you can mix and match with your favorite ingredients. We have combined rice, lettuce, cheese, pulled pork, tomatoes, corn, avocado, black beans and salsa or sour cream.
Do not mix together until just before you serve, and you might want to 'wake up' the pulled pork by heating it in a frying pan for 5-10 minutes first.
That's it for our pulled pork meal prep plan. I hope you enjoy it, and that it makes your life easier!
