Recipe: Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Slow cooker pulled pork – perfect half time snack

Mr Foodie wanted to show off his cooking skills and make a dish that would go well with a beer for a half time feed during the Euro 2016 games.  Pulled pork is very easy to make, it’s just how long it takes to make it that causes the problems!   With a slow cooker you can put it on to cook, go off and do your things in the house, and have dinner ready later. Sorted!
