Slow Cooker Sweet Pulled Pork Wraps Are a Perfect Way to Feed Your Hungry Crowd. They Are Spicy, Sweet, and Delicious!

We love Slow Cooker Pork recipes. Some of our favorites include Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas Nachos and Slow Cooker Texas Pulled Pork.

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!

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
