Gotta admit, pulled pork usually isn't my thing. Tim is a huge fan of it. I usually save making it for times when my son isn't home and I can toss something else together for myself. I saw this recipe from I Thee Cook on Pinterest and thought that he'd enjoy it. I did take some liberties- minced dried onions and jarred garlic. I started the roast on the stove, and then moved it to the slowcooker. When I got home from running errands and got a whiff of how amazing the house smelled, my alternate lunch got scrapped!
Leftovers were even better the next day. Thank you so much Rina for making a pulled pork convert out of me! :)

What did you do with the leftover sauce in the slowcooker?
ReplyDeleteWe had ours openfaced the second day and ate them with forks, so I spooned the sauce over the rolls. Thanks for stopping by!
