Made this yesterday, it is so good. It just fell apart coming out of the slow cooker!
So glad you liked it 🙂 I’ll be making it again soon!
I’m so glad you liked this recipe! It’s so fast and easy to put together, and you can freeze the pork with the marinade in a ziploc bag for an easy freezer meal… just defrost overnight and pop it in the slow cooker in the morning 🙂
