Crock-Pot® Seasoning Mixes make dinner time easy!

We’re always looking for quicker and easier ways to prepare dinner. And I will admit, I often rely on my crock-pot. Why? I love the set it and forget it technology. Crock-Pot knows we’re all busy, and they know we still want a good meal after it cooks all day, so they’ve come up with their new Seasoning Mixes to make dinner easy.

Smiley360 had a new mission for Crock-Pot Seasoning Mixes, and they sent me three to try! Including BBQ Pulled Pork, Savory Pot Roast, and Hearty Beef Stew. I usually make Pot Roast or Beef Stew in the crock pot, so I was eager to try the BBQ Pork.

I’ve always been picky about eating Pork, and honestly I don’t like cooking it. I’ve never had a lot of luck with it. But I do love BBQ Pulled Pork. I picked up a 3 lb pork roast to make for while we were out Black Friday shopping (who’s going to want to shop after that?)

The Crock-Pot Seasoning Mixes are just simply that, seasoning that you add ingredients you already have. For the pulled pork you add ketchup, water, cider vinegar and a couple other standard ingredients. You simply put your roast in your Crock-Pot, mix your BBQ mixture up and pour it over top. I cooked it on low for 8 hours and it came out perfect!

Once concern we had while it was cooking was the sauce smelled a bit too strong on the vinegar side. There are two types of good BBQ- sweet and vinegar based. I’m a fan of both and my boyfriend prefers bbqs that aren’t too sweet. Yet, he complained about the vinegar scent as it cooked.

All concerns were put to rest when we had dinner. It wasn’t too sweet and the cider vinegar wasn’t overwhelming either. It was the perfect blend of the two! What a great way to have easy and delicious bbq pork!
