Crock Pot BBQ Pork

Pulled pork BBQ is one of our favorite foods. My sweetie often makes it in a pressure cooker but I am partial to my crockpot and below is my favorite way to season and prepare this pork. Adding BBQ sauce after is really optional because it has such a wonderful flavor. Try it and see what you think!
