Interesting Facts

  • Using a combination of barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard adds a balance of sweetness, tanginess, and depth of flavor to the dish.
  • The slow cooker method makes this recipe incredibly easy and convenient, as you can simply set it and forget it until the meat is ready.
