I love preparing meals in the crock pot and this is no exception. the pork is slow cooked all day, and then come dinner time, you have an amazing dish to serve your family. it also makes the house smell so good! I always make a ton of this sweet pork so I can use it in multiple recipes throughout the week, I also find myself as a snack straight out of the fridge. It’s so good!
The slow cooker makes this recipe so easy to make. if you’re short on time, you can skip the marinating step. it adds more flavor to the meat, but it will still turn out excellent. the pork cooks a long time in the slow cooker, making the meat tender and easy to shred. Due to differences in slow cooker heat, be sure to check several times throughout the day to make sure the meat isn’t overcooked.
