This is a Winner! Pulled Pork You Dream About

I am back with a Winner! I know, I have heard it all before.. a slow cooker recipe?!  Really?!?  I am not using that contraption.  I am a serious cook!  Well, let me tell you, to one serious cook from another not so serious cook.  You need a slow cooker.  If you are anything like me, you are a busy person and a slow cooker (crockpot) makes dinner happen any day of the week.   I get it, most slow cooker meals are recipes that call for meats that can take a beating and can come out heavy, dull, mushy, unappealing and lacking flavor.  Trust me on this, I will not let you make something, and then have to eat it, unless I know first hand it is worthy the 10-12 hours in a gosh darn contraption.  One such meal is the Pulled Pork. It is a tried and true family favorite.  It is four ingredients.. YES FOUR(!).. and the easiest thing you will ever make. It needs a little extra time to marinate in the BBQ sauce (we only use Sweet Baby Ray’s) so read the recipe.  Make the coleslaw, pile it all on a Martin’s Potato Roll and you will be in HEAVEN. Look at that .. TWO recipes in one.. you are set!

I have a HUGE favor to ask of those of you who do use a slow cooker… have a tried and true recipe that tastes really good?  Please share below in the comments.  We all thank you!

8. Put the shredded pork and onions back into the slow cooker.

Notes

Pulled Pork takes a little more cooking time than the average slow cooker recipe but it only has 4 ingredients! Note: Be prepared, it takes 12 hours for the pork to cook before shredding so we usually put it all together and cook it overnight. When we wake up, we shred the meat and put it back in the slow cooker for another 6 hours.
