💬 Reader prompt: Are you team “extra glaze drizzle” or team “just enough for shine”?

Matt and I are always wanting to try new recipes, I never make pork, because it always tastes dry to me.

We like pork, so I thought I would try in the crockpot. I mean let’s be honest I love pulled pork!

Pork chops have never been my favorite because I always thought they were dry and chewy and gross.

However, you can never go wrong with bacon and a crockpot. This pork was amazingly moist and delicious!
