I am a big fan of pulled pork. It's so easy to make in the slow cooker and often comes out moist and delicious, plus there are extras for the freezer!
I have a go-to recipe called Slow Cooker Dr. Pepper BBQ Pork (comment if you want the recipe) but I decided to try something different last night. It was GREAT! Such nice flavoring and the perfect amount of sauce. (Read: not too drippy.)
It was super easy and because I wasn't home for dinner, my husband and toddler had a nice meal without me. That, of course, also means I didn't get a good picture of it. But I think you all know what pulled pork looks like.
I opted to not make the slaw that is also in the recipe and instead served it with a side of locally grown, organic broccoli that I steamed for just a few minutes in the microwave. (I like my veggies to have a little crunch left in them. No need to cook out all of the nutrients!)
I also totally regret not serving this with pickles. It would have been delicious!
Here is the fabulous recipe from Real Simple.
Yummy! On the list! Luckily we get a lot of odd pork cuts with our meat share so I usually toss them into the crock pot. This is a great recipe!
ReplyDeleteA year or so ago when I made the Dr Pepper pork, it had a really burned-flavor undertone throughout. I wonder what I did wrong... How many hours do you cook it for and do you do it on Low or High?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
