My Slow Cooker of Choice
I recommend using a West Bend Slow Cooker. I have used this West Bend brand of slow cooker for over 20 years.
The metal base can be used on the stove to brown your vegetables and meat if needed. And then returned to the slow cooker base to cook all day long.
I used this cooker when I was working but still wanted a delicious meal for my family when we were ready to have dinner. If you don’t have a West Bend Slow Cooker, you can use an Instant Pot slow cooker or a Crock Pot.
Pulled Pork Recipe
My shredded pork of choice is a smoked pork butt. It is so flavorful and goes great in chili. If you have a pellet smoker then give my smoked pulled pork a try.
Don’t have a smoker? Try my Instant Pot Pulled Pork recipe that is slow cooked until it’s fall apart tender.
