Katie Dishes - One Thumb Up
Really really good flavor.
I was looking for a healthy recipe for pulled pork, and this really turned out great. It is a little too spicey for me, but a good thick bun helps cut that a little bit. My husband and neighbors LOVED the flavor and the spice.
Definitely worth trying for your next family party!!
