Looking for Easy Family Dinner Ideas? You’ve come to the right place. Those of you who know me- you know that I have a SERIOUS OBSESSION with pulled meat. Like – no joke – I can’t get enough. I CRAVE it in the worst way.
No one can explain it. I don’t think it has anything to do with anemia or anything like that because it’s really only pulled meat – especially pork – that I can’t get enough of. It’s the best & worst unsatisfiable craving EVER! It’s bad – I’m telling you.
So you can imagine the squeal that came out of me when the hubs came home from Costco with some pork sirloin tip roasts. I was beyond happy & couldn’t wait to pop a couple in the slow cooker & make some amazing food.
The first recipe – Salsa Pulled Pork Tacos. My eyes were rolling to the back of my head with each bite. I was in pulled pork heaven.

Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker
- Combine pork, beer, peppers, salsa, onions, garlic & seasonings in the pot.
