SLOW COOKER SWEET PULLED PORK WRAPS
Pulled pork is definitely a favorite in our house. I love this variation of it. Tender, slow-cooked pork tenderloin and an amazing mix of sweet and spicy flavors have made it a regular feature on our meal rotation!
CAN I USE ANOTHER LIQUID?
Well, you can, but it definitely wouldn’t be the same! I know Dr. Pepper may seem like an odd ingredient, but it mixes with the other flavors in this recipe to make an incredible sauce. It’s a little spicy, a little sweet, and just the right combination of deliciousness.
Trust me on this one – you’re going to want to use Dr. Pepper!
WHAT ARE SOME OTHER WAYS TO USE LEFTOVERS?
Assuming that you even have leftovers (it really is that good), they can be used in so many ways. You can always use them for more wraps, but you can also use the pulled pork in sandwiches, over pasta or rice, or as a pizza or flatbread topping.
You may want to keep some on hand for when the craving hits!
DO SLOW COOKER SWEET PULLED PORK WRAPS FREEZE WELL?
The sweet pulled pork will freeze exceptionally well! Just pack it in an airtight container or freezer bag and it will be ready to pull out whenever you need it.
This is a great recipe to have bubbling away in the slow cooker anytime, whether you plan on serving it that night or freezing it for later! It’s so delicious and versatile, and it is definitely worth keeping on hand. Enjoy!

Happenings From Our Family of 9
We have some friends that raise dogs and they were getting rid of some of their smaller dogs. So we took them and had a litter of our own. The kids have taken really good care of them and they are growing fast. They are so sweet when they are little!
