Slow Cooker Sweet & Spicy Pulled Pork
While I don't enjoy drinking beer, I love cooking with it. This quick recipe also goes great on plain hamburger buns with a side of slaw. —Renee Herrington, Plano, Texas

What is the calorie in take for this
The DIY "BBQ" sauce was really good. I didn't use the cayenne pepper because my kids don't like the heat, but this was the only thing I changed. The sweetness was perfect.
We love pulled pork so I've tried many recipes. This one is a keeper. That touch of sweet with the spicy is perfect. I dislike liquid smoke, but I happened to have Spanish smoked paprika which I used to replace 1 tablespoon of regular paprika.
Delicious, definitely a staple now in my recipe book -
My kids hated this. Said it tasted "weird". My husband said it was ok but the flavors were off. Won't make again
This was delicious! My son and daughter in law were here and everyone loved it! Very easy to do in the crock pot.
Delicious! My whole family liked this! We ate it with shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Sweet and hot sauce is awesome!It's like tropical BBQ sauce, love it !
