Smoky, spicy pork meets a sweet, tangy pineapple coleslaw and oh baby is it good! I love the contrasting flavors in this dish that work just perfectly together.

The pineapple coleslaw takes no time to whip together (especially if you can purchase a pre-shredded coleslaw package) and the pork is made in the slow cooker so this meal practically makes itself.

This has been a staple in our house this summer since it’s such an easy, wholesome meal that both Neil and I enjoy. I hope you love it as much as we do! Recipe serves 4-6 depending on appetite / macro allotment.
