Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork
Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork is one of my favorite cook once and eat it all week long dishes! It’s the perfect dish for any day of the week!
BBQ pulled pork is one of those meats I just can’t resist! It’s luscious, a little fatty, and dropping with juices and BBQ sauce for heaven on a bun! As much as I love a slow braise in the oven, during the summer it’s just too damn hot for that. So I’ve taken this dish to the slow cooker for an easy dinner option you’ll love!

Now, if you think pulled pork only goes on a bun, you are so wrong my friend! It’s great in quesadillas, mixed up with some roasted potatoes for an easy hash, and SO good on pizza!
