Low Carb Sloppy Piggy. We of course all know what a sloppy joe is and we know that it is made with ground beef. But what the heck is a sloppy piggy? Not really so different from its cousin the joe but this is made with pulled pork. One of my childhood remembrances was eating sloppy joes and my mom didn’t care that we got dirty. Let’s face it, most times your mom does care when you get dirty, and I actually used to eat dirt…but she never knew…or did she?

- You will probably be surprised how much water this will use, especially after you mix in the pork. I actually use pulled pork to thicken several of the recipes on the site.
- I think 1 t of liquid smoke would be really good in this.
- You do not need any lettuce leaves especially if you don’t have them. Just slop piggies on the plates and enjoy.
- I also used salt and pepper on my lettuce.
