Notes

  • This juicy, mouthwatering pulled pork is so good. The onions go nicely with the flavor of the meat and the cloves add a special flavor.
  • BBQ sauce gives the pork a smoky flavor and this succulent treat is sure to be enjoyed by anyone you serve it to.
  • Pulled pork crockpot recipes are not difficult at all and even a beginner can make them. As you can see from the picture, the pulled pork is served in a bun, which has been toasted on the grill. Toasting the bun stops the juices from the pork from soaking through the bread and dripping out.
  • Some colorful homemade coleslaw completes the meal.
