This was my first experience stuffing a sweet potato with pulled pork (why did I wait so long?!?), and oh my, it was love at first bite. This has already become one of my new favorite dinner options. The combination of the sweet potato with the pork is divine, and the broccoli slaw adds a much needed crunch and acidity, as well as some pretty color to the plate! Just trust me. You need to try this.
There are many amazing ways to prepare pulled pork, but if you're like me and need quick and easy fix some times, you're in luck! This pork is made in the crock pot! Drop all your ingredients in before leaving for work, and 8 hours later, you've got enough pork to last for several meals (leftovers rock!). Go ahead and bake several sweet potatoes ahead of time, too - that way you'll just need to re-heat them when it's time to eat!

This was so easy in the crockpot and I loved the flavors with the pork. Very good salad as well. Perfect pairing of the two!
