Easy Pulled Pork

Here’s what you do---Go to the spice section of the grocery store where they sell those seasoning packets. Buy the one that says “slow cooker pulled pork” -- buy the stuff on the directions (back of packet: 3lbs of shoulder pork, apple cider vinegar and brown sugar) and then just follow the directions. Tip: it says “high” for 4 hours but I cooked it on high for 8 hours b/c at 4 hours it wasn’t falling apart, at 8 hours it was perfect.

Becky served it on rice and drizzled the sauce over the top. Yum! Yesterday I served it on wheat hamburger buns w/ fresh white corn and rice on the side (add sweet coleslaw on the bun to get a Phil’s BBQ taste) Yum, again! The best part is that it serves 8-10 people. Leftovers make another great meal-- you can make “carnitas” burritos/soft tacos the next day w/ the corn, rice, pork, cheese and sour cream…so yummy! Again, no effort. I love it! I bet if you wanted to make carnitas from the beginning you could add a taco seasoning instead of the other packet and mix w/ the brown sugar and vinegar and this would make them spicier too.
