Pulled pork is great for serving a large crowd. I like to buy a few different sauces to change up the flavor. If you like to experiment try our homemade spice blends on your pork. I think it is great to change it up.
Leftover pork is great on a salad in vegetable soup or pork burritos. I like to make a large batch of soup then freeze it for fast lunches. I freeze it using 1 cup ice cube trays. If you are new to freezing to prevent waste check out our article on using ice cube trays to store foods.

I am assuming you have salt and pepper. It is not included in pantry and spices.
Tip from Me!
Pork Tenderloin can tend to be dry after it has cooked for long periods of time. If you like a moist pulled pork buy a pork butt. The cut is much better for pulled pork.
