    pulled pork on bun with bbq sauce drizzled over on wood cutting board with bbq sauce bottle in backgroundBecause we really need another reason to eat homemade BBQ sauce! And pulled pork is a very good reason! I know we are past the holiday season and the big football game season and the rest of the reasons people usually think of making a little pulled pork. But when you make it in the slow cooker it's so super easy that having a delicious meal after a busy/stressful/crazy day is the best reason of all!

You could even add the seasonings the night before and have practically no work left to do.

Takes less than 5 minutes and adds the perfect amount of flavor and crunch.

One of my favorite types of meals because just by making the meat everyone in the family can practically have a custom meal to their liking. No more complaining about what's for dinner.
