Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork

My family was in town this past week, which gave T and I the perfect opportunity to try a dish we’ve been talking about doing for a while – pulled pork. We wanted a recipe for the crock pot that let you make your own barbeque sauce, and came across a recipe from Maria and Josh over at Two Peas & Their Pod.

I was hoping to have a post about home-made hamburger buns to go along with the pork, but the buns over-rose and turned into a hockey puck failure. which required a run to the bakery for something worthy of the amazing smells coming from the crock pot.

The pork, however, turned out great. The BBQ sauce seems a bit spicy alone, but is perfectly sweet and tangy once cooked with the pork. It’s a great, easy recipe for a crowd. I love that you can just set it and let the slow cooker work it’s magic. This recipe is definitely one I can see myself making often.

Head on over to Two Peas & Their Pod to check out their Pulled Pork Sandwich recipe.

I’m posting this for the Brown Bag Challenge because the pork worked perfectly packed in a Tupperware to reheat at lunchtime at work. Just bring yourself a bun, and you’ve got a great hot meal, the smell of which will make your co-workers jealous.

I’m teaming up with fellow food bloggers for a Brown-Bag Challenge, a month-long initiative to eat consciously and save money by packing a lunch instead of eating out. Join us and share what you’re eating.
