This recipe is so very easy which makes it perfect for the crazy holiday season. I really do not think it could get any easier. Mix the ingredients pour over pork in the crock pot. Cook and end up with delicious fall apart meat and a tasty sauce that is just right with minimal effort. Just remember that every crock pot cooks differently, so you may want to check the meat a few times to make sure you do not over cook it or it will be dry.
