Busy Mamma's Pulled Pork

I love to see my hungry husband eat! Making a new recipe is like an adventure to me! I can't wait to taste it & see the look on my hubby's face when he really loves what I've made! I RARELY made the same thing twice, but when you become a mom the dinner game changes + when you're a working mom it changes even more! All I want to do when I get off work is hold, hug, kiss, & play with Kwintzy! Not slave over a big time-consuming dinner, yet I didn't want to start resorting to nasty frozen/TV dinners every night. Plus I have a passion for cooking & I didn't want to lose that either! So I have become BFFs with the crock pot! I work close to home so at lunch I can toss the ingredients in & when I'm off work BAM! dinner is ready, leaving lots of mommy, daughter time! I find easy recipes then tweak them to make them my own. Last night I made what I'm going to call....

 
Busy Mamma's Pulled Pork
 
 
 
Start by pulling out the AMAZING crock pot! Then adding a 1/2 cup of water, followed by a layer of your favorite BBQ sauce! I used Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ Sauce-I highly recommend it! SO yummy + I had a coupon that made it only 75 cents a bottle!
 
 
Next add pork chops. You can use as many as you think you'll need, but you are probably going to want to make plenty. Once you try it you'll want to eat ALOT! Promise ya! For my recipe I'm using 3 chops, but yes I wish I would have made more! Then comes the seasonings. Now my measurements are totally not measured out at all. Just use your own judgment, that's what makes cooking fun! A few shakes of cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, black pepper & a tiny bit of red pepper (don't want it too overpoweringly hot) then my little secret...sugar! Just add a few dashes of sugar to each piece of pork & it makes sooo much difference!
 
 
After that chop up part of a red onion & throw it over the chops. Followed by about 1/2 or more of the bottle of BBQ sauce. Then simply turn on the crock pot to low & go about your day for the next 7-8 hours.
 

When you get home be prepared to smell the most delicious mouth-watering smell in the world, because as soon as you smell it you are going to want to eat that very second! But first you have to shred the already-almost-falling-apart, tender pork! I did it with 2 forks with ease.



 
 Next step add the bun & devour! 
 


 
I wish so badly that you could taste though a computer! If you could just lick your screen you'd be running to the grocery store right now! No picture or description can justify the yumminess of this pulled pork! It's just something you have to try!!!! So easy, quick, & to die for deliciousness! Let's just say I got to see my hungry husband polish off more than a few!
