My Slow Cooker Pulled Pork is tender, juicy and irresistibly delicious. Best of all, it’s simple to make and can be served in a variety of ways. I love it as a sandwich but it can be made into tacos, burritos, served on baked potatoes, topped on salads, or served with various side dishes like coleslaw, baked beans, and cornbread. It’s a perfect go-to option for busy weeknight dinners or weekend gatherings with friends and the leftovers are just as delicious, if not even more flavorful!
