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.

Thanks! It’s SO easy too. The smell of it in the crock pot when you come home is amazing!

My husband looooves pulled pork! I will definitely be making this one for a Winter evening treat with lots of frozen leftovers! Flying Pigs Farm at the Union Square Farmer’s Market is the place to go for the most delicious, humanely-raised pork imaginable, in case you’re in the NYC area and looking to kick this amazing recipe up one more notch!
