For some reason pulled pork sandwiches always make me think of Spring. I’m not really sure why, but they do. Maybe it’s the idea of picnics. Regardless, I’ve always enjoyed eating them but never made them until recently.
I settled on the recipe from Iowa Girl Eats. All the recipes looked great, but her recipe looked great and was SIMPLE. I firmly believe anything cooked in a slow cooker should only use a few ingredients and be a snap to put together.
Sure. You can call me lazy. Or maybe I’m just a brilliant time management guru.
Now that you’ve picked yourself off the floor from laughing so hard, I’ll remind you that thanks to me (okay, Kristin) you have a simple and delicious pulled pork recipe to try.
Pulled Pork Sliders
