Shredded pork is a constant in my household. It’s delicious by itself or when added to other dishes like pork rind nachos, quesadillas, or soft tacos (with low carb tortillas). You can crank up the seasoning if you like your food even spicier.

It’s just such an easy staple to keep in the fridge and heat up whenever you need. Not to mention the fact that it makes the whole house smell amazing! I have a super basic slow cooker, like this one. I would say it is probably the kitchen appliance I have used more than anything else I have ever purchased. Especially now that I work from home, it is so simple to throw something in early in the day, enjoy the smells all day, and then have dinner ready in minutes later in the day!
