Dinner doesn’t have to be a daily struggle. And with a packed schedule, who has time to cook everything from scratch? Thankfully, Aldi keeps things easy — and budget-friendly — with smart shortcuts that make weeknights a breeze.
Their Balsamic and Rosemary Glazed Beef Sirloin Skewers and Garlic Cheese Flatbread are already fan favorites. But now, another Aldi item is winning hearts online — and it’s a total time-saver.
We’re talking about Aldi’s Seasoned Boneless Pork Shoulder Roast. It comes in two crowd-pleasing flavors: BBQ and Carnitas. And both cost around just $5 per package — not per pound, total.
These roasts are pre-seasoned, freezer-friendly, and incredibly versatile. Think tacos, pulled pork sandwiches, rice bowls — even cheesy stuffed rolls. All with minimal effort.
Allrecipes News Editor Bailey Fink is a huge fan of the Carnitas version. Her go-to move? Toss it in a slow cooker and serve it with soft shells and coleslaw. “The meat is really tender and the seasoning is delicious,” she says.
Reddit fans love the BBQ flavor. One shopper wrote, “These are definitely worth the $5 every time!” Others suggested pressure cooking it with onions, garlic, and broth — then adding BBQ sauce. Easy and delicious.
One Redditor got creative with a biscuit hack. They shredded the pork, added BBQ sauce, stuffed it into biscuit dough with cheese, sealed it, baked it — and got four massive sandwiches out of one roast.
The best part? It’s cheap, hearty, and stretches into multiple meals. Great for families, leftovers, or easy lunches the next day.
While you're at Aldi, grab extras like tortillas, buns, canned beans, and microwave rice. With this pork roast in your freezer, you’ll always be minutes away from a satisfying, stress-free dinner.
