This recipe is a fun and easy one to make and bonus, makes enough to be considered batch cooking even without doubling it. You can make this easy BBQ pulled pork on the stove top or even in the slow cooker. My family enjoys eating this like they do in the south on a sandwich with plenty of coleslaw. There’s something so tasty about the combination of coleslaw and pulled pork.
