crockpot pulled pork and homemade coleslaw

i love those crock pot liner bags. they make cleanup so much easier.
pork in the crockpot with the rootbeer


shredding the pork. i used porkchops because the store didnt have pork shoulder and these were the cheapest cuts of pork they did have. it worked out well.


shredded pork back in the crockpot


this is the barbeque sauce i use. it has a nice flavor without trying to melt my tongue off. i cant tolerate spicy things. i dont like the feeling of my mouth burning. pass, thank you. i didnt use the whole jar. but i'd rather have extra than not enough!


extra sauce is good when you know you'll be reheating it in the microwave. mmm, good stuff!


mixing up the coleslaw sauce


this was also very good. whoever had the idea to pair coleslaw with pulled pork is awesome.
