Crockpot is your Summertime Friend!

Summertime is made for days spent on the beach or a lake or at a park - anywhere outdoors and away from the house! Next time you pack it up for the day, make sure you start dinner in the crockpot before you head out. Nothing like returning home at the end of the day, worn out from the day's excitement, to find dinner already done for you!

Here's a SUPER simple recipe for your next day away from home.

Pulled Pork

Salt and pepper a pork shoulder (or use a b'que spice rub, but that's too complicated most days for me)

Throw it in the crock pot in the morning with setting on low. Let simmer for 8 hours or more.

When you arrive home, carefully scoop it out and place into a large bowl. With 2 forks, gently pull the meat apart (discarding any fat).

Add your favorite b'que sauce and mix well.

Serve with extra sauce, rolls, and a salad and/or cole slaw.

Super easy and super good!
