Easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Between work, school pick ups, sports and just generally managing a household, the afternoons can get busy so I often rely on my trusty slow cooker to take care of dinner. Being able to pop something on in the morning and having it ready when you get home in the evenings just makes life so much easier!
This pulled pork is so simple to throw on and is also delicious. Win win!
