Now, more than ever, I’m needing to find the easiest way to get dinner on the table for our family. Just yesterday I made a trip to Home Depot to get moving boxes, went and found a storage unit to hold some of our belongings until moving day – both trips with the littlest two – and also ran my daily mama shuttle service to school and swimming lessons. When we got home, luckily dinner was ready and waiting for us thanks to my Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Pork Tacos with Candied Bacon. It not only takes away a bit of the stress of trying to get us moved across the country but is also packed with flavor. A definite win/win in my book.

This is one of those toss everything in the slow cooker and forget about it type of recipes. Don’t you love those? Me too! A pork loin roast, onion and garlic as well as honey mustard are added to the slow cooker and then left to cook for the rest of the day. When cooking is complete, the pork is shredded and then loaded into a tortilla with the usual taco suspects of lettuce, cheese and tomatoes. The first taste of these Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Pulled Tacos with Candied Bacon, however, is anything less than usual.

While we’re talking tacos, I’m betting you’ll also love my equally hands off Slow Cooker Hoisin Chili Chicken Tacos and my 15 minute Rosemary Citrus Shrimp Tacos.

The honey mustard flavor in thisSlow Cooker Honey Mustard Pulled Tacos with Candied Baconrecipe is the perfect compliment to my Slow Candied Bacon which also plays on the sweet and spicy flavor combination. The bacon utilizes brown sugar, mace and red pepper flakes and it also lends texture to the tacos as well with the satisfying crunch that only bacon can have. Even better? The bacon is a completely hands off recipe and can be made in advance which makes this meal even easier to prepare.

The day that I first made these Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Pulled Pork Tacos with Candied Bacon I ate two for lunch and another two for dinner. I would’ve loved thirds but you know, I had to share at least some of the contents of the slow cooker with my family. They’re so needy like that.
