Basic Pulled Pork
Make on FrescoThis basic recipe can be used in so many ways, the sky is the limit. Think quesadillas, tacos, cottage pies, nourish bowls, salads. Limitless!
This recipe is a stock standard recipe that you should immediately pin, or save to a menu so you can find it easily on demand. If you have a small family, this recipe will feed you up to 4 meals. If you have a hungry set of boys, I still think it will feed your family at least twice. It makes a TRUCKLOAD. It seems that when you shred meat it increases in volume. So cook once, eat twice or thrice as the case may be!
COOK ONCE, EAT TWICE:
