Sweet and Spicy Pulled Pork
This is a great recipe because it is so versatile. I love it on rice, with a salad (Cafe Rio Style), in tacos, in burritos…you get the idea. It is tasty stuff. And, it is a crock pot meal, which means that you get all that great flavor with very little work.
I love to make a big pot of it to serve in burritos like these Sweet BBQ Pork Quinoa Burritos.
Don’t have a crock pot? This one is only about $15! Hamilton Beach 33262 Stay or Go 6-Quart Slow Cooker
