Slow Cooker Sweet Spiced Pork

Slow Cooker Sweet Spiced Pork

A sweet heat pork that is so versatile and flavorful you won’t mind eating it for every meal! And it is made in the slow cooker to simplify your life! 

Okay, maybe not EVERY meal, but seriously, this has some pretty awesome flavor to it, and I promise you will like it enough you won’t complain if you have it on a quesadilla for lunch, and over a plate of rice for dinner! It really is that good. IMHO!

The possibilities with this pork are endless! So many fun, tasty, and amazing uses. (ok, clearly amazing is the word of the day) Seriously, so many! I love making a huge slow cooker full, and then freezing part! With this last batch I made burritos for the winner of my 1 year blogiversary giveaway. I then made quesadillas for my kids, enchiladas to freeze for a busy week night meal, and then I mixed some with a can of crushed pineapple and some green peppers and served it over rice, for a sort of sweet teriyaki type pork. Everyone ate every last bite! Basically you can’t go wrong with this pork.

No matter how you use it, I hope you love it as much as we do!
