Making food in the slow-cooker is so easy and so tasty.

Well now that we've made our first successful slow-cooker recipe, we don't want to stop using it! Our favorite dish so far is pulled pork and now I'm excited to try one of these 7 Tasty Slow-Cooker Recipes as well...

We love making pulled pork in the slow-cooker and actually make our recipe a little bit different than this one from Martha Stewart, but I'm always looking for new ways to cook! In our slow-cooker recipe you use a 12-ounce bottle of root beer with your 3-4 pound tenderloin along with your favorite BBQ sauce. In Martha's version she calls for light brown sugar, cayenne pepper, cider vinegar, BBQ sauce, and a few other things. When your pulled pork is done, pile it on your favorite toasted roll for a filling sandwhich that is great for lunch or dinner. How do you make your pulled pork slow-cooker recipe?
