BBQ Pork from a crock pot!?

Can you still call it BBQ pork when it comes out of a crock pot? Regardless of what it's called,  It's pulled pork doused in some delicious BBQ sauce.....and it is mmm mmm good. This recipe comes from Budget Bytes and it totally rocks. It was easy to make and wonderfully delicious. The only problem I had was making the gravy - I failed at it miserably. 

Dinner this evening was deliciously southern. Rice (which was meant to be covered in gravy), sweet buttered corn, sauteed squash, zucchini and onion, and a large heaping pile of pulled pork covered in BBQ sauce. The corn was steamed in the microwave. This was my first time using Ziploc's "Zip n Steam" bags. They were easy, mess free and the corn came out spectacular! I'll be making more use of these in the future. As mentioned above the pork recipe comes from Budget Bytes. We covered in Sticky Finger's Carolina Sweet BBQ Sauce.

Put this sauce on your list of "Honey Do's". Our Memphis Original Barbeque Sauce has just enough honey to make you buzz. This delicious sauce is the key ingredient in our famous Carolina Sweet Ribs, the most popular style of ribs that we serve. (Sticky Fingers)

Budget Bytes places this pork recipe at  $8.34 and less than 1 dollar ($0.93) a serving. My husbands favorite part of this recipe: its PORK. My favorite part - it uses in the crock pot. I put in all of 10 minutes of effort, throw it in the crock pot and when I get back from school its DONE!
