13 Ways to Eat Crockpot Pulled Pork

One of the best ways to set yourself up for a stress-free week of meals is to cook your protein once and then reheat it in different meals. This is one of my favorite meal prep hacks.  Toss a pork shoulder in the crockpot with a beer and some spices to cook while you’re at work.  Come home to quick, easy, and delicious meals for the rest of the week!

Make meal planning and meal prep a breeze with our Pulled Pork Meal Plan. Once your pork is cooked, you can reheat the leftovers in a variety of ways. Eating the same meat doesn't have to mean eating the same dish. We have pulled pork meal ideas inspired by comfort food, latinx dishes, asian meals, and even a few ideas you might’ve never thought of before!
