Freezeasy Meal Prep Directions

    To each gallon-size plastic freezer baggie, add the following ingredients:

    • 2 lb. pork roast
    • Salt and pepper
    • 1 cup orange juice
    • 1 tsp ground cumin

    Remove as much air as possible and seal. Add label to baggie and freeze.

    Freeze & Thaw Instructions

    Put baggie in the freezer and freeze up to 6 months in fridge freezer or 12 months in a deep freezer. Thaw in the fridge overnight, or a warm bowl of water for about 20 minutes, before transferring to the slow cooker and cooking on low for 8 hours. Assemble Cubano Sandwiches as directed.

    Dairy-Free Modifications

    Omit the Swiss cheese for a dairy free meal, but know that then it’s not a true Cubano sandwich.

    Gluten-Free Modifications

    Unfortunately, there is not a great gluten-free option for this sandwich.
