It’s no secret that I am absolutely LOVING my slow cooker lately. I mean, after this Crock Pot Potato Bacon Leek Soup, this Healthier 3-Ingredient Crock Pot Hot Chocolate, and this amazing Crock Pot Vegetarian Chili that I’ve shared over the last few months you should have gotten the idea. As my kids get older and life gets busier I just keep going back to my Crock Pot for those dependable, easy weeknight meals that require minimal prep work so I can spend my time on all the other things on my to-do list.
I recently added these Easy Slow Cooker Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches to our monthly meal plan because I made them once and my family just couldn’t get enough of them! Seriously, I’ve never seen my 2-year-old scarf down a meal as fast as she devoured one of these pulled pork sandwiches the first time I made them.

And honestly, if a meal is THIS easy to make AND my family loves them so much they’re all asking for seconds, it means it’s got to become a regular thing in our house. Because if you’re anything like me, there’s nothing quite like slaving over a delicious, home-cooked meal for your family and sitting down at the table only to discover that nobody’s enjoying it but you. Trust me…that’s not a good feeling

These Easy Slow Cooker Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches are SO simple to make: just throw 3 ingredients into the crock pot and toss with your favourite barbecue sauce before serving. Because we like to eat as healthily as possible in our family I make many of our sauces from scratch, especially the ones that are typically high in sugar. I often make a version of this healthy homemade barbecue sauce recipe and it’s just perfect for this recipe since you can adjust the sweetness or tartness to your family’s tastes by adding more or less honey or vinegar.
And the homemade coleslaw is just about as easy – it’s just shredded cabbage, red onion, and a shredded carrot with a super simple sweet 4-ingredient dressing that’s as healthy as it is easy to throw together. If you’ve been around here for any length of time you’ll know that salad dressings from a bottle just aren’t my thing. Truthfully, once I started making my own salad dressings I just never went back to the bottled stuff because homemade is just SO much tastier. And usually healthier too!
